🪖vintage bullet pocket shrines ✝️

These became especially popular among soldiers in the trenches of World War I, particularly in France. They provided a sense of divine protection amid the horrors of mechanized warfare

Genuine soldier-made ones from real casings

examples from WWI France are shaped like a bullet cartridge. Some twist open to reveal a small statuette inside (commonly the Virgin Mary). Others were made by hollowing out actual spent cartridge cases to hold religious icons.

They are miniature shrines or reliquaries designed to fit in a pocket usually carried in the chest pocket

🎨Various artworks by 🙏🏼

Using acrylic, oil, and mixed media, he builds atmospheric compositions in which form and feeling like a blur, sometimes transforming traditional sacred imagery with surreal, cartoonish facial features

🎨Mount Golgotha by
M. Minoriv (2016) ✝️

oil on canvas height: 180 cm (70.8 in); width: 100 cm (39.3 in)

Jesus hangs on a rough wooden cross with arms outstretched and head tilted upward (looking toward heaven). He wears a crown of thorns and a white loincloth. Blood is visible on his body, hands, side, and dripping down the cross from the nail wounds in his feet. A wooden plaque at the top of the cross bears the traditional “INRI” inscription (Latin abbreviation for “Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews”).

On the right, a seated figure in a red robe,
possibly Mary Magdalene.

A human skull lies at the base of the cross (a traditional reference to Golgotha, “the place of the skull,” and to Adam). The rocky ground and sparse setting emphasize the isolation of the scene.

On the left, a standing figure in a long, dark green hooded robe likely the Virgin Mary faces the cross in a posture of mourning or prayer, head bowed.

Background and atmosphere: A turbulent, dark sky with swirling clouds in deep reds, blacks, and muted tones creates a stormy, dramatic effect.

🎨Untitled by Nikolaevich Mironov✝️

(born 1975, Ryazan), signed “Mironov” in the upper right with a date that appears to read 2015.

cropped, low-angle view of the Crucifixion focused on Christ’s nailed feet. Large metal spikes pierce both feet, with blood running down the pale wood of the cross and dripping onto the ground and lower elements.

The full figure of the crucified Christ is not shown directly in the main scene but is visible as a reflection/recording on the screen of a black smartphone held up by a hand in the lower right

🎨Purple Jesus (1987) by Alex Grey✝️
Alex Grey
 20×20” oil on wood

Anatomically transparent Jesus on the cross—skeleton, circulatory system, and bowels visible—eyes closed in resignation, astral light radiating from body and heart, haloed by green, magenta, and blue LSD-like droplets.

Painted as album art for Purple Geezus (Mike Osterhout’s band), house band of the mid-80s punk/performance-art “Church of the Little Green Man” (where Alex & Allyson Grey were bishops). Also shown at SF’s Retrospectacle exhibition (Summer of Love 20th anniversary).

Grey’s visionary work later became iconic on major albums: Tool (Lateralus, 10,000 Days, Fear Inoculum), Nirvana (In Utero), and the Beastie Boys (Ill Communication).

Other Christ works: • Nuclear Crucifixion (~1980) – from a 1976 vision of Christ rising in an atomic mushroom cloud. • Christ (1982–85, Sacred Mirrors) – yogi-like Gnostic teacher. • Cosmic Christ (1999–2000, ~50×102”) – golden web of 100+ human history scenes, Earth as planetary crucifixion becoming a green Gaian Christ-child/Tree of Life.

🩸 The Flagellation of Our Lord Jesus Christ (1880) by William-Adolphe Bouguereau 🎨

completed in 1880 as an oil on canvas measuring approximately 212–310 × 213–309 cm, is a large-scale Academic realist depiction of Christ’s scourging that hangs in the Baptistery of La Rochelle Cathedral in the artist’s hometown.

Commissioned in 1879 by the Société des Amis des Arts de La Rochelle and acquired by them in 1881, the composition centers on a pale, limp, nearly life-size Christ bound by the wrists to a column, his head thrown back, feet dragging, and body marked by suffering as two executioners raise their whips mid-stroke while a third kneels to bind birch branches (with a possible fourth preparing more) and a surrounding crowd of onlookers reacts variously—curiosity, averted eyes (a child pressed against his mother), or sympathy (a baby held aloft on a father’s shoulders)—with a bearded figure who may be a self-portrait locking eyes with the viewer to draw the audience into the scene.

Bouguereau, a devout Catholic who treated religious painting as a form of worship of God and humanity.

the work showcases his mastery of anatomy, idealized yet naturalistic forms, dramatic lighting and shadow, and emotional intensity.

🎨 Nathan Greene ✝️

Nathan Greene Nathan Greene

Born in Michigan in 1961,began drawing as a young child and entered professional illustration work in 1983 after studying at Chicago’s American Academy of Art; by the early 1990s his career shifted fully toward Christian fine art with landmark commissions such as The Family of God and Chief of the Medical Staff.

His luminous, detailed realist oil paintings (and occasional watercolors) focus on portraying Jesus Christ with kindness, strength, and compassion in biblical scenes, healing miracles, medical settings, and contemporary life.

Signature works include the twelve-painting Healing Miracles series for Loma Linda University, the Days of Creation, The Good Shepherd, The Lamb of God, Gethsemane, The Crucifixion, The Resurrection, and tender images of Christ holding a black lamb.

Through careful composition, balanced light and color, and emotionally direct storytelling, Greene’s faith-inspired art seeks to reveal God’s love and offer hope, treating the work itself as a ministry.
