WOYWW: Holy Week


For today's desk, I have a 400th Anniversary Edition of the King James Version of the bible.  It is a digital reproduction of the original one printed in 1611 (except that on was huge - 12" x 16"). Although it is very hard to read, the decorative initials, illustrated genealogy and antique font are beautiful...


Since it is the Holy Week, my illustration is a prayer from Luke 18...


I wasn't able to go visiting last week since we had a family vacation (17 of us!) to Puerto Princesa, Palawan.  Here are a few pictures that I posted in my Instagram account (peggyapl)...



The highlight of our trip for me, dolphin watching...




Sharing this in What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday and Word Art Wednesday! Have a blessed Holy Week and a joyful Easter, everyone!

    What beautiful font. It's just a matter of getting into a rhythm and used to the style of font and writing! I've learned it does click! Thanks for sharing :)

    Bonjour ma chère amie,
    Merci de partager avec nous ce très joli billet.
    Vous nous montrez une bible précieuse.
    L'illustration que vous avez crée est d'une grande douceur.
    Je vous crois, vous avez dû passer une journée formidable en compagnie de nos amis les dauphins. Quelle chance ! Vos photos sont fascinantes.
    Gros bisous et joyeuses fêtes pascales.

    I bet you and Patsy are surprised by quite how much you needed a break and some togethere time. The pictures are just gorgeous, truly for a gal in this hemisphere, they are my impression of heaven. I've done the dolphin thing too - lucky me, a couple of times. Both times it reduced me to tears....and I cannot say why.

    Look at those dolphins! Aren't they beautiful? I've seen them in the wild too - it's a wonderful experience. That holiday place looks gorgeous, so glad you had a good break.

    Great post this week, Peggy. Lovely script - but even more wonderful words of life.
    The photos of your holiday are great - dolphin watching! Wonderful.
    Have a special Easter as we celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus.

    What a beautiful Bible, Peggy, and how lovely to have a replica of the original. I notice in front of it on your desk is a little decorated box - I have almost the identical one, but it's rectangular, not square! So pretty. Your art piece for today is so beautiful, and very thoughtful. I love seeing the photos of where you have visited - especially the dolphins! What fun you must have had.

    Happy WOYWW and a very happy day on Sunday as we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.

    Wow, that is a beautiful bible, but huge. You won't be carrying that one to church on Sunday, I wouldn't think. :-)

    As always, I love your illustration of the scriptures. Beautiful and meaningful.

    Have a blessed Resurrection Sunday and Happy Woyww,

    Oh Peggy my sweet friend. This is just perfect for Holy Week. It should be our daily prayer always. Your card is so true to the scripture. Thank you for joining us this week and for posting your beautiful project in our Word Art Wednesday challenge.
    Blessings,

    Lovely illustration. And it looks like you were in paradise, even though I've never heard of that spot.
