Have a Blessed Easter!
The time leading to Easter is known as Holy Week and is universally celebrated by all Christian denominations around the world. Throughout the years, Victor Bregeda created several widely-recognized paintings depicting the subjects of Holy Week, such as Holy Communion (the Eucharist series), the Lord’s Supper (Last Supper, Sacrament), Crucifixion (Lamb of God, Sacrifice) and many others (Faith Collection).

Last Supper is centered on the Communion table. The twelve disciples are pictured as vessels, the ancient amphoras that are soon to be filled with the Holy Spirit. In the background, Bregeda opens up another dramatic scene that is filled with the host of countless heavenly creatures as described in Revelation 5:11. Christ is ever-present, not only with His disciples, but with anyone who is willing to follow Him. Look carefully – in a dramatic fashion, the angels form a pattern that reveals the image of the Savior.

Eucharist IV is is arguably the most complete representation of the Eucharist series. Bregeda uses his surrealistic art to portray the image of the Last Supper, Jesus and the idea of divine love. The candle is the symbol of light and Christian faith, transforming into the image of Christ and The Twelve Apostles. Look carefully – the image of Jesus Christ can be seen in the flames of the Eucharist as the Apostles, bowing in devotion, are seen encircling the exterior of the candle.

Lamb of God by Victor Bregeda is a powerful painting that displays a portrait of Jesus Christ. Upon further review, we notice the three crosses present in the distance. An angel is present alongside Him. “Knowing that you were not redeemed by corruptible things … but by the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot; Who truly was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but was manifested in these last times for your sakes” (I Pet. 1:18-20).

Sacrament by Victor Bregeda depicts the scene of the Last Supper, where Jesus ate with his disciples before He was crucified. The twelve disciples are portrayed as ships, who will set sail with their message to the world. Christ is represented by the flame of the candle, which also sits upon a sailing vessel. The perspective of the scene places the viewer at the head of the table, with bread and the wine before him.
If you have not been to church for a while and wish to reconnect with God, this weekend is a great opportunity to do so. Many people are able to draw a parable of their own lives and faith journey from the observances of Easter church services. Through the celebration of Jesus’s suffering and resurrection in liturgy and symbol, these services become a powerful proclamation of the transformative power of the Gospel, and God’s work in our lives.
