The Merciful Heart of the Christ Child

"The Merciful Heart of the Christ Child" is a watercolor print by Leanne Bowen. Frame not included. The 5”x7” and 8”x10” Prints come with the meditation printed on the back. The larger prints do not. Leanne created this image to show the beauty of light that comes when Christ is born within our hearts and homes. In the image, the artist shows the rays of Divine Mercy flowing from the Sacred Heart of Jesus. In Jesus's halo is a chalice and grapes to show that He will become the Bread of Life. Mary's halo has flowers blooming in it. She is robed in stars and her mantle is extending to wrap around the viewer. Her mantle mimics the colors of Divine Mercy to show her mercy on the world that crucified her Son. Around the image is a wreath. Wreaths are a symbol of eternity and everlasting life because they never end. It is made of cypress which symbolizes immortality and endurance of heart. They are often planted near cemeteries to represent Christ's ability to transform death into life. T
