St. Damien of Molokai

$25.00

St. Damien of Molokai (1840-1889 AD) was a Belgian priest who spent the last 16 years of his life serving at a leper colony in Hawaii. This drawing was based on one of the few photos of St. Damien from when he served the isolated community on Molokai, and a photo in which the ravages of leprosy are evident and it is this disease that would eventually take his life. He is a standard bearer of self-sacrificial love, of living for others, of following the Lord with eyes fixed on heaven. Damien of Molokai is the patron saint of Hawaii and of people suffering from Leprosy. “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends." (John 15:13)

All of my portraits of saints original drawings were created with black Prismacolor pencils. This media choice was to insure a maximum contrast of black and white rather than the grey of graphite. The benefit is that all of my saint prints are the exact same size and contrast as the original drawing.
