Sacred Art on Display

“John Kohan’s calling to sacred art began early: ‘Sacred art has been a lifelong preoccupation, judging from the earliest sketch of mine [that] my mother saved. It is a pencil illustration of Jesus’ parable of “The Sower and the Seed” … drawn when I was a child of six or so.’ Since that time, John worked as a foreign correspondent to Russia, settled in Cyprus, and continually collected sacred art. He now lives most of the year in the United States, owns the Sacred Art Pilgrim Collection and directs the Art in the Sanctuary exhibition program at Saint Peter’s Episcopal Church in Delaware, Ohio.” (Imagejournal.org, Issue 74, Summer 2012)

John has been gracious enough to share with Holy Trinity some of the original sacred art pieces from his collection depicting events of Holy Week.  These international works from various artists are currently on display just outside the church sanctuary.  Please check them out.  John’s collection is on loan to Holy Trinity through Good Friday, April 3.  We thank him for sharing these special treasures with us!
