'O Savior, Thou Who Wearest A Crown' Print

A detailed print of my original painting titled 'O Savior, Thou Who Wearest A Crown'. 

There is a hymn we sing on Sundays at church. It is titled ‘O Savior, Thou Who Wearest a Crown’. One of the verses reads:

O Savior, thou who wearest a crown of piercing thorn,
The pain thou meekly bearest, weigh’d down by grief and scorn.
The soldiers mock and flail thee; for drink they give thee gall;
Upon the cross they nail thee to die, O King of all.

What praises can we offer to thank thee, Lord most high?
In our place thou didst suffer; in our place thou didst die,
By heaven’s plan appointed, to ransom us, our King.
O Jesus, the anointed, to thee our love we bring!

I love this hymn. It’s hard to think about all of the things the savior endured for us. It’s hard to comprehend. But as I pondered this song and painted this piece, I was filled with immense gratitude for His willingness to wear the crown of thorns. A crown that was placed upon Him mockingly, to shame and scorn Him, but now has become a symbol of His victory and triumph over death. In this painting, His crown of thorns is blossoming with forget me not flowers and olive leaves. Olive leaves because they remind me of the Garden of Gethsemane, an olive grove. And forget me not flowers because I never ever ever want to forget what He has done for us. (If you’ve been here for a while, you know how much I love to incorporate these flowers into my religious pieces!) When Easter season comes around I am always reminded that I need to remember Him more. I don’t want to feel complacent about His sacrifice for me. I want to marvel and celebrate the miracles He did and continues to do for me.
