Lectionary - Artful Devotion
I think the lectionary is fascinating. I remember my dad saying one of the reasons he liked using the lectionary to plan his sermons was the thought that all around the world people were using it.
In this blog, Victoria Emily Jones went through all 3 cycles of the church year, chose one of the Scripture readings, and posted a work of art and one of music to go with it. What a beautiful idea.
