A Study Guide
Photograph: A painting, The Baptism of the Christ, by Daniel Bonnell, called The Baptism of the Christ. Used with permission. It represents the beginning and the end of Christ’s ministry: The Baptism relates to the Crucifixion because it represents a dying and rising. The original is in Saint George’s Cathedral in Jerusalem. This version hangs in a humble and small African-American Church in South Carolina. Another version hangs in the Mayo Clinic entrance in Minnesota. Daniel Bonnell teaches art to at-risk inner city high school students.
