The Missing Faces

My first sketch of the Myrrhbearers

The image  at top is by Fay Barratt, who has spent decades trying to excavate the "lost women" of the Jesus movement through both study and by "bringing forth" the images within her.  The list of women who followed Jesus is long, and few of them are commonly known names. Many of them do not even have names, only encountersHow desperately we need images to replace the missing pieces. Consider this an invitation, perhaps even a mandate: do what you can to give Mary Salome and Mary Jacobe, the mother of the sons of Zebeddee, Johanna,  Mary Cleophas , the woman at the well, the Samaritan woman, the poor widow and Peter's mother-in-law faces.
