The Holy Name of Jesus

Today is the day of St. Bernardin of Siena, a Franciscan friar who was known for his devotion to the Holy Name of Jesus. So I thought I will make this:

The stone has Jesus' name in Greek: Ἰησοῦ. There is no ς at the end because I wanted it to be in vocative: this way a glance at the inscription is already a call to Him.

Desk item 02

Unlike the previous one, this "desk item" is made of naturally sourced wood (i.e. I picked up a dry branch on a walk :)). It was cut, planed, polished and drilled using a Dremel and then varnished with clear gloss varnish.

It is the Lord!

That disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” (Jn 21,7).

Holy Mary, Mother of God,

pray for us sinners!
