"Ordained: A Journey through Sacred Rites and Spiritual Callings" In the mid-15th century, a profound moment unfolded as St Peter ordained St Stephen Deacon. Fra Angelico's artistic masterpiece captures this sacred act, symbolizing the passing of divine authority. Fast forward to 1765, Lorenzo Zucchi's brushstrokes bring us "The Seven Sacraments, " where ordination takes center stage. This visual narrative immerses us in the solemnity and significance of this holy sacrament. Reverend Joshua Huntington's oil portrait reminds us of the countless individuals who have answered their calling to serve as spiritual leaders. His gaze reflects dedication and unwavering faith that guides his ministry. A timeless black-and-white photograph introduces Billy Graham, an iconic figure whose charismatic preaching touched millions around the world. His life exemplifies how one can be divinely ordained to impact generations with God's message of love and redemption. As we journey further into history, we encounter the Major H. E. J Lister Memorial in Hechtel-Eksel—a testament to those who sacrificed their lives while fulfilling their sacred duties. Their memory serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by those called to serve a higher purpose. Bishop Headda bestows his blessing upon St Guthlac in an ancient ceremony captured by Henry Shaw in 1843. The image transports us back centuries ago when bishops played a pivotal role in ordaining individuals for service within religious communities. David Joris' portrait from c. 1540-45 showcases another facet of ordination—Anabaptist beliefs emphasizing individual spiritual journeys guided by personal revelation rather than traditional hierarchical structures. The vibrant lithograph depicts a solemn public consistory—the grand occasion where new cardinals receive their distinctive hats—an awe-inspiring sight that signifies elevation within ecclesiastical ranks throughout history. Martin Luther's engraving reveals his own ordination as a priest, a pivotal moment that would shape the course of Christian history.
