EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph depicts The Parable of the Ten Virgins, a powerful biblical story that teaches us about preparedness and vigilance. Illustrated by John Lawson in the 19th century for The Child's Life of Jesus by H R Haweis, this image beautifully captures the essence of the parable.
In this scene, we see ten young virgins eagerly awaiting the arrival of their bridegroom. Five are wise and have brought extra oil for their lamps, while five are foolish and have not prepared adequately. As night falls and the bridegroom finally arrives, only those who were ready with enough oil are able to join him in celebration.
The vibrant colours used in this lithograph bring to life the anticipation and excitement felt by these young women as they await their special guest. The attention to detail in each figure's expression conveys a range of emotions from joy to anxiety, highlighting the importance of being spiritually prepared for unexpected events.
As we reflect on this timeless parable through Lawson's artistic interpretation, we are reminded of the need to be vigilant in our faith journey and always ready for whatever challenges or blessings may come our way. This print serves as a visual reminder to stay alert and keep our spiritual lamps burning bright.
