Jesus and the Little Children

Posted by Josh (Pasadena, United States) on 16 September 2008 in Art & Design.

One of the windows within St. Peter's Church in the historic district of Philadelphia. Some fun facts about the site that I learned: George Washington worshiped here and the Orange Trees that line the grounds are said to be from seed brought back by Lewis and Clark!

The scene is based on Mark 10:13-16
People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them.
