AMAZING NEWS FOR MARY |
“In the sixth month,...”
Elul (Hebrew: אֱלוּל, Standard ʾElūl, Tiberian ʾĔlūl) is the twelfth month of the Jewish civil year and the sixth month of the ecclesiastical year on the Hebrew calendar. It is a month of 29 days. Elul usually occurs in August–September on the Gregorian calendar.
The shofar is blown every morning from the first day of Elul until Rosh Hashanah (except on Shabbat).
Which would mean that Jesus was born sometime is June -July....................
Appreciate your research, although your math needs work. Nine months after August/September yields May/June.
Good Morning, Dan.
Tanner and Tissot, tied for 1stt Place.
So many beautiful paintings. #95, a Gabriel without wings; #99 a dramatic Tissot; #105, again the favorite Tanner; the detailed beauty as painted by Waterhouse; the bronze at #110 and finally #112 by Bloch. I love it also for showing the sweet youth of Mary.
The baseball playoffs start next week, so we’ll have Tanner and Tissot paint best-two-out-of-three.
Thank you, Alba. Lovely list.
Thanks for the eye feast, Dan!
You got your ping, then. Day off tomorrow, so don’t be alarmed at no ping.
Glad you found a gawker’s paradise, Claire. Now, we’re off to take a gander at ol’ Cousin Lizzie’s big belly....
Hello Dan, and happy day to all.
Great choices, with many favorites; 84 and 85 by Alonzo are very nice.
I’m surprised how often Mary is depicted reading.
Thank you most kindly Dan !!
I love this collection.
But I have to ask...
In #89, what’s up with the little brown gremlin sitting on the table to the left?
I really winder how much reading material was available then. Apparently enough for Jesus to amass an impressive store of memorized Scripture. Undoubtedly, Mary promoted that.
Good question. If I bump into Venusti, I’ll be sure to inquire.
Many beautiful pictures here. I really like 105 and 103. There’s even a kitteh curled up on the floor in 103.
Don’t you start with feline felonies, too. As much as possible, I like to ignore them.
LOL - but I’m an ailurophile. 😻
Maybe Mary was too.
I won’t hold it against you as long as you’ll spare me.
Holding one tablet of law in each hand.
Perhaps as a symbol of the old testament, and Mary's position in the new.
that is an interesting theory
indeed, Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament
