[Hebrews 11:6]

JESUS' APOSTLES:
Peter, Andrew,
James, John

[Red Badger]

After the crucifixion, and Judas suicide, the Apostles chose Mattias, to replace him so as to keep their number at 12.

But I have always thought of Paul as being the true next Apostle, since Jesus chose him as well....................

[Hebrews 11:6]

the Apostles chose Mattias

They believed God had made that choice

"Then they cast lots, and the lot fell to Matthias;
so he was added to the eleven apostles."
Acts 1:26

[Red Badger]

#2 Ankh on Peter’s sleeve.

Scallop Shells: #13, #19, #20, #23, #24...............

[Red Badger]

A roll of the dice...................

[SouthernClaire]

Thank ya, Dan!

(No. 18, hands down!)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Good morning, Claire.

A fine choice, if not an inevitable one.

[left that other site]

Good Morning, Dan. :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Joyeux Noël, Mary-Lou!

[InkStone]

Good Morning Dan, and good day to all.
So many ‘favorites’ from which to choose:

#6 Van Poucke (sculpture)
The ‘glass’ are wonderful, each of them.
#13 Duquesnoy (sculpture)
#17 and #25 Rubens
#27 Wautier, inspired indeed!

Thank You Dan, for taking the time to assemble these, and present them to us =:^)

Rubens (#1-9-17-25) portraits of the Apostles are remarkable. I especially love his John the Evangelist and Peter.
Juan de Juanes, #20, was the foremost artist of Spanish Renaissance. His work was influenced by Raphael.
Beautiful mosaic at #15 and of course the stained glass windows.
The deeply devoted El Greco, is always very recognizable with his elongated figures and vivid colors.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Eight more Apostles remaining, hence two more days like this.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Rubens’ Apostle portraits endear him to me.

[InkStone]

“Eight more Apostles remaining, hence two more days like this.”
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Dan, this topic is much admired.

[Hebrews 11:6]

And then, one more day: The Four Evangelists.
