About this painting
This manuscript painting is the Lord's Prayer.
Our Father,
Who art in heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name;
Thy kingdom come;
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Symbolism in this Painting
A brief explanation of the symbolism in this painting: This is a traditional Christian prayer that, according to the New Testament, was taught by Jesus to his disciples. The apple in the Christ Child’s hands symbolizes the fruit of Salvation. The tree in the background is an Aspen, which represents the wood of the Crucifixion. Legend has it that the Cross was made from the wood of an Aspen tree. When the tree realized the purpose for which it was being used, its leaves began to tremble with horror and have never ceased. The trees under the Madonna and Child are also Aspens. Grapes are the symbol of the Eucharistic Wine, the Blood of Christ. At the top of the icon you can see a very faint ancient star map. Painted over the star map, in the borders surrounding the central images, are paintings of flowers and plants that symbolize death and Resurrection. Each flower has its meaning rooted in fourteenth and fifteenth century illuminated manuscripts. Strawberries have been used to symbolize temptation and, with their white flowers and red fruit, purity and martyrdom. White Lilies are associated with the Annunciation. Violas symbolize the Trinity because of their three-color petals. The blue five-petal forget-me-nots and the four-petal speedwells signify remembrance. The butterfly is a symbol for the cycles of life; caterpillar, chrysalis and finally, the butterfly. Birds are the symbol of the “Winged Soul”. They are used to suggest the Spiritual, as opposed to the material. Ants that are scattered throughout the composition, are used because of their industrious habits, as symbols of activity, diligence, work and good order. The spots of the seven-spot ladybug symbolize Mary’s Seven Joys and Seven Sorrows.
