Via Dolorosa
In the Middle Ages, the Via Dolorosa was identified as the route along which Christ carried His cross; I’ve set my easel at the very spot commemorating where Christ received His crown of thorns.
In addition to being a spiritual landmark for Christians, the Via Dolorosa is also a modern street in the Arab section of the old city. As I worked, small Arab children gathered around me and at one point playfully pelted me with pebbles. Happily, Arab shopkeepers immediately came to my rescue and chased off the pint-sized intruders. I later bought a decorative tile from one of my rescuers as a small gesture of thanks.
- In early 2006, Thomas Kinkade visited the Holy Land where he spent much of his time painting in order to capture the emotion and the vibrancy of this ancient land
- Thom is honored to be the commemorative artist for the spectacular touring exhibit: From Abraham to Jesus, September 2006 through December 2008.
- Share these experiences through Thom’s magnificent collection of images called Impressions of Israel.
