This is the second of nine illustrations for a short series for Menno Media for their Shine curriculum. Here we see a scene from the story of the woman at the well. I illustrated this story once before in a previous project for a different client. This is where Jesus tells the woman about who he is and about the figurative water he is offering in the form of his salvation.
On page 10 there are two panels showing how people will pray in the future, after they learn what Jesus has to teach. This first panel shows a Samaritan family praying around the table before a meal.
Pages 9 and 10 are drawn with panels instead of the two-page spread I’ve used so far. This is the first of two panels on page 9. It shows some Samaritans climbing Mount Gerizim to pray.
In the story, Jesus and the woman are discussing how their people pray, and this panel shows how Samaritans pray three times a year on Mount Gerizim.
