Easter/Lent Books

Art by Laura James.

Laura James, whose arresting, colorful art appears in LTP's beautiful ritual book, the Book of the Gospels, has created a brilliant, lively image of the three Marys at the empty tomb on the first Easter morning. Based on the early Christian Ethiopian art style, Laura James's work conveys the events of scripture through figures that are both decorative and reverent. This poster will bring the joy and drama of Easter into any room where it is displayed.
