Mirra, kadzidło i złoto czyli adoracja, pragnienie i zachwyt.

Złoto dla Króla, kadzidło dla najwyższego Kapłana i mirra, najcenniejsze zioło wschodu, ale najbardziej gorzkie. Bardzo pięknie mówił dzisiaj o pragnieniu Boga papież Franciszek. Słuchałam go z zainteresowaniem. Po raz pierwszy mówił z taką mocą i zachwytem. Mówił o mędrcach, którzy pragnęli bo wpatrywali się w niebo.

Saint Raymond Nonnatus Being Nourished by the Angels, c. 1630

His surname (Latin: Nonnatus, "not born") refers to his birth by Caesarean section, his mother having died during childbirth.  He is the patron saint of childbirth, midwives, children, pregnant women and priests who want to protect the secrecy of confession.

Triumph of the Cross (c. 1613-34)

The steep perspective of the cross and the suggestion of heaven's spatial infinity indicate that Eugenio Cajés probably made this square drawing as a preparatory study for a ceiling painting, probably in a chapel dedicated to the cross. In his late work, Cajés characteristically employed these graceful figures, these rhythmically flowing forms, and this chiaroscuro effect in brush and wash. His convincing illusionism in rendering the cross required extensive knowledge of perspective, which he may have gained from his study of Italian architecture.
