Mark...What a venture into the world of paintings and portraits I’ve been on...learning Luke was an artist? I didn’t know, but apparently understood so in traditions etc. I still prefer him better as an apostle, from the paintings I saw, he was better at that too.

So many of the Portrait holers claimed they had the first of Lukes..(some things never change.)..and many copied and or added their own renditions. If it indeed was Lukes at all.

Not sure I believe any were his though, at least those in possesion today. But then that is how traditions come and go. People add, or take away, or even discard til the next generation. But Jesus did warn us about the traditions of men aas you know.

Therefor...some may want a portrait of an artists work, from the old masters or otherwise the local catholic shop, in their homes to admire and or bow to, that somehow unites them to that individual who is gone. I’ll stick with faith ....”Blessed are those who believe without seeing”.. and His word...”became flesh and dwelt among us.”
