About the Artwork: This painting represents Jesus in a traditional tunic laboring in his hometown of Nazareth, quarrying stone from a terraced hillside. Our Lord used teachings about foundations and cornerstones because he was practically familiar with them in his mortal labor. As the chief cornerstone of our faith (Ephesians 2:20), our Lord gracefully shapes us through his divine work in much the same way he did the bedrock of his hometown.
