Mosaic Masterpiece

I am blessed to be part of a parish with some astonishingly talented artists who give generously of their time. Claudia Burns was the mastermind artist behind this incredible mosaic for behind the tabernacle at our parish, Christ the King in Ann Arbor, Michigan.


The project represents 1800 hours of construction, completed by 54 volunteers, over 15 months.


My daughters and I contributed just a couple hours. We loved it, but life got too busy.


The mosaic consists of thousands of tiny shards of glass, all brilliantly chosen and color coordinated by our master artist Claudia.


Look at the detail. It's exquisite.


Here is the installation behind the tabernacle. It's perfect.


It's gorgeous from a distance and even more beautiful up close.


Is it not a fittingly magnificent mosaic for behind our beautiful tabernacle. Brought me to tears!


Thank you, Claudia, for designing and executing this extraordinary work. How you give glory to God with your talent and willingness to use it for HIM!
