Thirteen Plymouth people, including Piece Makers Harriet, Flora and Patricia, participated with Kristen Gilje (the artist who created our Butterfly Banners) in painting 16 silk banners in four designs created by Kristen. The designs were inspired partly by two sessions of Plymouth members discussing this year’s Advent texts:
Nov. 28, Isaiah 2: They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Dec. 5, Matthew 3: Even now the axe is lying at the root of the tree; every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Dec. 12, Luke 1: The angel said to Mary: 'The Holy Spirit will come upon you...and the child to be born will be holy; he will be called Son of God....and Mary said: “my soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.”
Dec. 19, Matthew 1: An angel of the Lord appeared in a dream and said, ‘Joseph, son of David,do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus.’
