My drawing depicts the Emmaus Supper where Jesus was revealed to Cleopas and the other disciple on the day of his resurrection, in the breaking of the bread (Luke 24:35). The other disciple may have been Cleopas’ wife. The baby she holds is visually cradled by Jesus in the crook of his arm, because Jesus loves the children! This meal points toward Communion. Why a goat? I was inspired by a painting of Noah’s ark by Marc Chagall, that also includes a goat. The goat is fitting because all of Creation will praise Jesus and be renewed (Rev. 5:13). |

The risen Christ met Mary Magdalene
in the tomb garden.
At first, Mary mistook him for the gardener.
Then Jesus called her name,
and she knew him (John 20:11-18).
