About the Artwork: Take Away the Stone by John Swanson

John Swanson’s Take Away the Stone offers a profound visual reflection on the Gospel of John 11:1–45, our reading for this Sunday. Inspired by the raising of Lazarus, Swanson’s work draws us into the moment when Jesus calls for the stone to be rolled away — not only from a tomb, but from the places of fear, grief, and doubt that can keep us from life. Through expressive lines and luminous colors, the piece invites us to sit with both the tension and the hope of this Gospel story.

In the Episcopal tradition, sacred art serves as an aid to prayer and contemplation, helping us encounter scripture with fresh eyes. This image encourages us to reflect on how Jesus meets us in our own places of waiting and loss, and calls us to move toward resurrection life. As we gather for worship and hear this powerful Gospel proclaimed, may Swanson’s Take Away the Stone deepen our prayer and open our hearts to Christ’s promise of new life.
