Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem

When I was in my first year of art college, I was assigned a project that was supposed to be a form of "Primitive" or "Folk" Art. I chose Ukrainian Embroidery and not only did I do research deep in the stacks of the Boston Public Library, I also interviewed some elderly Ukrainian women in my community, and made an entire traditional dance outfit that was hand-embroidered from top to bottom. The professor gave me a "C", saying that Embroidery was NOT "Art", but was a "craft". I countered that he was a sexist and that he diminished the Art of Embroidery solely because it was an Art traditionally attributed to WOMEN. At that, he promptly improved my grade! LOL.

Embroidery, though now often done by machine, is an incredibly evocative and important art. Sports Teams, Motorcycle Clubs, and even the Military record their achievements and identification with embroidered patches.

Most interesting, though, is the resurgence of the very embroidery that caused my confrontation with the professor back in 1970. In the Ukraine, mass demonstrations and parades have been organized to protest Russian incursions into the country. Not only are there lots of flags being waved, but the marchers have taken to wearing their native embroidered shirts to express their National Identity and Pride. It has become so profuse that these are called "Embroidery Parades".

Certainly, this Bible Job has NOT become "Obsolete". I feel vindicated! (Although I was kind of a brat in 1970!) LOL!

Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.


Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.



Hallelujah and Amen

Praying for the Peace of Jerusalem, for our brothers and sister in Baghdad, for our persecuted among the dark nations, for our homes, families and friends, for our nation.

I would have liked to hear what your professor thought of the Bayeux Tapestry (not really a tapestry but embroidery, 230 feet long)narrating events leading to the Norman conquest. A beautiful work of art and a document.

Joining you in prayer for Israel, our FRiends in need and our beloved Nation.

Blessings, etabeta

Prayers up

Interesting story and info btw. :-)

[Alamo-Girl]

I join in prayer for Israel, Jerusalem and all God’s beloved.

[NEWwoman]

And so many tapestries tell the history in embroidery.

Lifting up all God’s people in prayer, left that other side, especially the persecuted.

Praying for Israel and our beloved America.

PRAYERS ASCENDING ON HIGH FOR
THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM!
And for the Preservation of the Valiant
Israeli Nation!

HE children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the LORD, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the LORD had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.

And Moses said unto the children of Israel, See, the LORD hath called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;

And he hath filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;

And to devise curious works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

And in the cutting of stones, to set them, and in carving of wood, to make any manner of cunning work.

And he hath put in his heart that he may teach, both he, and Aholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan.

Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.

We pray in particular on behalf of our brothers and sisters in Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Libya and throughout the Mideast. The members of the oldest of our Christian Communities, some of which date from the days of the Apostles, suffer under cruel, merciless and unrelenting persecution. They are Orthodox and Catholic, Protestant and Evangelical, Coptic, Pentecostal, and Baptist. To the persecutors, we are all "Nazarenes."

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far;
The LORD hath called me from the womb;
From the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name.
(Isaiah 49:1 KJV)
