Dried sugarcane tassel
Small pieces of sugarcane tassel are collaged until they become an image of the Savior. Head bowed and hands clasped, Christ prays for humanity. The sweet stalks represent a multitude of Christ’s intercessions, engaged with one at a time as a believer repeatedly returns to Him for grace and forgiveness. By applying Christ’s Atonement, individuals are strengthened and better able to strengthen others.
“Makabaton [kita] sang Iya diosnon nga bulig agud malampuwasan naton ang bisan ano nga kasablagan, balatian, kasakit, ukon pag-antos.”
