EDITORS COMMENTS
The Woman with the Box of Ointment, a captivating illustration from the renowned book Women of the Bible, takes us back to biblical times. This mesmerizing print, created by Harold Copping in 1927, captures a powerful moment described in Luke 7:37-38. In this scene, we witness Jesus in the House of Simon the Pharisee as an uninvited guest approaches him. The woman is none other than Mary Magdalene herself, known for her repentant nature and deep devotion. With a box of ointment in hand, she humbly kneels before Jesus at a lavish dining table. The artist skillfully portrays Mary's act of love and humility as she delicately anoints Jesus' feet with ointment. Her long hair cascades down her shoulders while she brushes it against his feet to clean them—a profound gesture symbolizing her repentance and adoration. This poignant image beautifully captures both vulnerability and strength—the contrast between Mary's status as a sinner and her unwavering faith. It serves as a reminder that no matter our past mistakes or societal labels, redemption is always within reach. Copping's use of vibrant colors brings life to this timeless story—evoking emotions that transcend time itself. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported back to that sacred moment when forgiveness was granted and unconditional love prevailed.
