🕊 Our Lady of the Snows 

I thought it appropriate to draw Our Lady of the Snows for the word Arctic since we live in this cold state and rarely get much snow! I should pray we get lots of snow so I’ll have something to shovel this winter!

🕊 Matthew Chapter 27

And when morning was come, all the chief priests and ancients of the people took counsel against Jesus, that they might put him to death.  2 And they brought him bound, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.  3 Then Judas, who betrayed him, seeing that he was condemned, repenting himself, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and ancients, 4 Saying: I have sinned in betraying innocent blood. But they said: What is that to us? look thou to it.  5 And casting down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed: and went and hanged himself with an halter.

🕊 The Monstrance

I drew a monstrance for this prompt, for I believe it represents the word ornate quite well. I am definitely falling behind in getting these posted. Hope I can get through the rest of the month!

✟ Saint Augustine of Hippo

Saint Augustine didn't exactly live a holy life to begin with. He eventually converted through his mother's, Saint Monica, prayers and became Bishop of Hippo. That's why I chose to draw Saint Augustine for the prompt, blunder.

"Shortly before Augustine's death, the Vandals, a Germanic tribe that had converted to Arianism, invaded Roman Africa. The Vandals besieged Hippo in the spring of 430 when Augustine entered his final illness. According to Possidius, one of the few miracles attributed to Augustine, the healing of an ill man, took place during the siege. Augustine has been cited to have excommunicated himself upon the approach of his death in an act of public penance and solidarity with sinners. Spending his final days in prayer and repentance, he requested the penitential Psalms of David be hung on his walls so he could read them and upon which led him to "[weep] freely and constantly" according to Possidius' biography. He directed the library of the church in Hippo and all the books therein should be carefully preserved. He died on 28 August 430. Shortly after his death, the Vandals lifted the siege of Hippo, but they returned soon after and burned the city. They destroyed all but Augustine's cathedral and library, which they left untouched.

Augustine was canonized by popular acclaim, and later recognized as a Doctor of the Church in 1298 by Pope Boniface VIII. His feast day is 28 August. He is considered the patron saint of brewers, printers, theologians, and a number of cities and dioceses. He is invoked against sore eyes."
