“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

I have a print of his Pentecost.
http://www.danielmitsui.com/00_pages/pontifical_pentecost.html
I love it.
Oh, wow, what wonderful details. I too occupied at first looking at the end of Our Lord’s staff poking the devil in the eye (ha!) to notice that He is lifting Adam and Eve out of the mouth of something *terrifying*.
Can anyone help me out with the artwork inside the diamonds? I understand the Phoenix, and the Pious Pelican, but the bottom two figures are escaping me.
And my smarter-than-me 11-year-old just figured out what the third angel (the one who isn’t lifting the lid) is doing– swinging a censor!
@Margaret:
From Daniel Mitsui’s website:
According to the medieval bestiaries, the phoenix rises from its own ashes, the pelican revives its dead chicks by feeding them blood from a self-inflicted wound and the lion revives its dead cubs with its breath. The whale is from the story of Jonah, which was named as a prefigurement of the Resurrection by Christ Himself: For as Jonah was in the whale’s belly three days and three nights: so shall the Son of man be in the heart of the earth three days and three nights.
Absolutely fantastic. These would make incredible windows. Sadly, my church prefers to have windows of natural elements (earth, wind, fire, water, the globe).
Very good work!
The detail is great. The Harrowing of Hell is one of my favorites, since it is not explicitly biblical, but is traditional and, of course, reasonable.
basis,
I wonder how far the Harrowing of Hell explicates St. Matthew 27:52-53?
Art,
Thank you! My first thought was that the lion was something like the mother bear licking her cubs into their proper shape; and I was wondering if the whale was a narwhal as Sea Unicorn. It took me a moment to puzzle out RESVRRECTIO DOMINI, too! (And in the first instant, out of the corner of my eye, I took the Harrowing for ‘Noli Me tangere’.)
