Image of the Week
Jacqueline – Andy Warhol - Wolverhampton Art Gallery
As Andy Warhol depicts Jackie Kennedy as a modern day saint in mourning, we remember today Mary at the foot of the cross mourning the death of Jesus. In this week when the world recalls the atrocities of 9/11 25 years on – we remember all those who continue to mourn the death of loved ones in Washington, New York and Pennsylvania – and for the work of reconciliation and peace to prevent further tragedies in the future.
