Experiencing Holy Week Art by Celia Montague at St Barnabas Church, Jericho
Visitors to St Barnabas Church, Jericho this season have the unique opportunity to experience a special seasonal exhibition featuring five works of art by artist Celia Montague.

The collection features pieces thoughtfully integrated into different architectural areas of the building. Visitors will find The Agony in the Garden displayed on the north side of the nave pillars, while The Crucifixion hangs on the south side. Meanwhile, the painting titled Syria is on view in the Lady Chapel.
The remaining two pieces focusing on the Resurrection—Woman, why are you weeping? and The Road to Emmaus—join the display beginning on Easter Eve. Observers are encouraged to view the works closely to appreciate the artist's distinctive use of texture and color. Further details and imagery can be explored directly through the St Barnabas Easter art resource.
