Scriptural design interpretations are created from specific lectionary  scriptures that are being used in a church service. This can be the most challenging of  designs to create because the designer can not always take the scripture at face value, but must first understand the spiritual value of the scripture. The designer may work with the clergy in developing the design concept and its content.

Revelations 21:11-22:5 

This is a visual interpretation of the New Jerusalem: 12 candles – 12 gates of the city; 3 on the East, 3 on the North, 3 on the South, 3 on the West / White candles – Gates made of a single white pearl / Gold candelabras – Streets of gold, transparent as glass / Crystals – River of water of life, bright as crystal, flowing through the middle of the street of the city/ Flowers at the base – Foundation of the walls of the city are adorned with every jewel / Tall flowering branches – On each side of the river is the tree of life with twelve kinds of fruit / Candle light – And there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light.  

Lect Scripture Luke13.31.39.gif (1539897 bytes)    I Shall Overcome!

Luke 13:31-39

"The same day there came certain of the Pharisees, saying unto him, Get thee out, and depart hence: for Herod will kill thee. And he said unto them, Go ye, and tell that fox, Behold, I cast out devils, and I do curse to day and to morrow, and the third day I shall be perfected. Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that art sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord." KJV
