Hands hold, bless, reach, worship, lift, support, cover, and intertwine in this painting representing mortality and its human trials, sufferings, falls, and repentance. In the top right corner, Musiienko portrays the hands of Christ, in whose image all good service takes place. Helpful actions are facilitated by the Atonement of Jesus Christ, symbolized by the red thread embroidered through the painting.
“[Ми] можемо бути знаряддям у Його руках, щоб допомагати тим, хто потребує нашої підтримки”.
