Maundy Thursday Shadow Sketches

As part of a Service of Shadows for Maundy Thursday April 2, 2026, these sketches were drawn as each “shadow” of Christ’s final hours were read. I had a general idea before hand but for the most part each came together more or less spontaneously during the reading. I used a large flip chart in front of the congregation. As each candle was blown out, I flipped to a new page and once the reading began, started a new sketch. We then created a kind of gallery of the finished shadow sketches in the church.

Neulich bin ich in der Arbeit über den polnischen Künstler Stanisław Wyspiański gestolpert.
Ein Multitalent: Schriftsteller, Maler, Innen- und Möbeldesigner – dieses Buntglasfenster mit dem Namen „Gott Vater – werde!“ ist beeindruckend (zu sehen in einer Kirche in Krakau).

The other day at work I came across the Polish artist Stanisław Wyspiański.
A true polymath: writer, painter, interior and furniture designer – this stained glass window titled “God the Father – Let it Be!” is truly impressive (on display in a church in Kraków).

The image shows the coat of arms of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, intricately carved into the side of a wooden pew. It depicts a stylized castle with towers – a symbol of the “All Saints’ Church,” known as the birthplace of the Reformation. This is where Martin Luther famously nailed his 95 Theses in 1517.

Das Bild zeigt das Wappen der Schlosskirche Wittenberg, kunstvoll in die Seitenlehne eines Kirchenstuhls geschnitzt. Es stellt eine stilisierte Burg mit Türmen dar – Symbol der „Allerheiligenkirche“, die als Ursprungsort der Reformation gilt. Hier schlug Martin Luther 1517 seine 95 Thesen an die Tür.

The neo-Gothic high altar of the Castle Church in Wittenberg was built in 1892 during a major renovation. At its center stands a statue of Christ by Gerhard Janensch. The apostles Peter and Paul were created by Carl Dorn, while eight smaller apostle figures were sculpted by Richard Grüttner. The altar gives the church interior its solemn and sacred character.

This beautifully crafted stained-glass window from the Castle Church in Wittenberg captivates with its deep blue tones, golden script, and biblical verses. It reflects the reformative spirit of Martin Luther and symbolizes the central role of faith and Scripture in the Reformation. A silent witness to living history.

Dieses kunstvoll gestaltete Kirchenfenster aus der Schlosskirche Wittenberg beeindruckt mit tiefblauem Glas, goldener Schrift und biblischen Zitaten. Es erinnert an den reformatorischen Geist Martin Luthers und verkörpert die zentrale Bedeutung des Glaubens und der Heiligen Schrift für die Reformation. Ein stilles Zeugnis gelebter Geschichte.

Here’s the kicker: the light isn’t from some fancy stage rig. It’s just the natural sunlight, slicing through the architecture like it’s been waiting years to make this moment happen. Perfect alignment. Every inch of it sculpted to draw your eyes—and maybe your soul?—upward.

You don’t have to believe to be moved. Sometimes stone and sun get together and remind you that humans can make some seriously breathtaking things.
