Bethlehem Urn | Joni Eareckson Tada's Art Series

Joni Eareckson Tada shares the inspiration behind her 1980, 32" x 28" watercolor painting, Bethlehem Urn, which points to the majesty of Jesus Christ as King. In royal blue and gold, Joni thoughtfully integrates Christian and Jewish symbols into the design rendered on this Greek-style urn, blending cultural elements with spiritual significance. Look closely to see Joni's depictions of the three Wise Men, the Star of Bethlehem, and the Lion of Judah, offering a visual representation of Christ's birth and his connection to the tribe of Judah. Joni explains the hidden details in the painting, like the star shining through the manger, encouraging the viewer to discover the layers of meaning within this piece. This series is intended to share hope by highlighting Joni’s rich history of spiritually themed artwork. Prints of this artwork are not currently available for purchase.
