This is awesome! Cannot wait to see what comes from this project. I am pretty much completely unfamiliar with the liturgical calendar but am really interested, excited to learn, and participate!
Also, is there a good app for the liturgical calendar? I want to go ahead and get myself more acquainted with it.
I thought I saw a post from Signs & Seasons asking for input for the end of Lent, Passiontide and Easter. But I can't find it. Was it you? Would you be interested in this idea? I put together a linked list of posts I did at Dappled Things with art from James Tissot illustrating the events of Holy Week. I've been writing and researching about Tissot for several years. When his illustrations went on exhibit around the world, people were so overcome by the portrayals of the Gospels, they would fall to their knees and cry and faint. James Jacques Tissot was an immensely popular and fabulously rich French realist painter of worldly scenes and friend to the Impressionists, who decided not to join when invited by Edgar Degas to the first Impressionists’ show. Tissot continued painting in a realist style even after it went out of fashion. After his conversion back to the faith of his childhood, Tissot took three arduous trips to the Holy Land. His goal was to seek out and record authentic details about the people, the landscape, the architecture, and the way of life from the land where Jesus lived, assuming (in many cases erroneously) that much of the way of life of the area that Jesus had experienced had not changed. From his notes and sketches, he did hundred of illustrations. . . .
