A dramatic, digital art illustration of a historical scene taken from Mark 15:33-41. Focusing on a moment of surreal darkness blanketing the entire landscape at noon, lasting until three in the afternoon. Jesus, in the center of the scene, vocalizing an intense cry of 'Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?', with bystanders nearby, one running to fetch a sponge soaked with wine vinegar on a staff to offer Jesus. In the foreground, a centurion observing Jesus solemnly, proclaiming 'Surely this man was the Son of God!' In the distance, a group of diverse women, including, Mary Magdalene and others, watches the scene unfurl. Overlaying the scene, a symbolic representation of the temple's curtain being torn in two from top to bottom.
Mark 15:33-41 - "Mark 15:33-41 At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”). When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.” Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said. With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died, he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!” Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joseph, and Salome. In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there."
