The Wonder At The Well

This is the second of two panels on page 9. In the story, Jesus and the woman are discussing how their people pray, and this panel shows how Jewish men pray at The Second Temple. (If you look close, you might notice that only the men are going up into the temple.)

I had to use historical references to draw the temple because the actual temple was destroyed in 70 CE. Luckily, I found some archeological drawings and photos of models depicting what The Second Temple was supposed to have looked like.
