The Gospel of John Prayer Flag

描述

This prayer flag honors the cosmology Jesus gave to His disciples, contained in the first chapter of the Gospel of John. It contains the following quotes: "In the beginning was the Word, And the Word was with God, and the Word was God, Through Him all things were made. In Him was life and that life was the light of all mankind." "The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it." The images on this prayer flag are block-printed and stamped by hand on each bright panel. These prayer flags are made in a small shop in Juarez, Mexico, a city ravaged by poverty and violence. The women in our shop take tremendous pride in producing the best quality prayer flags available at a modest price. They are made of a durable weight cotton poplin so they will not 'scrunch up' or tear in the wind. They are hand dyed with permanent, non-toxic dyes and they last many months outside in wind and rain before fading gradually. Our workshop is part of a community development project run by the Sisters of Charity (proyectosantonino.org), for families with special needs children. This project supports several of these families and ALL of our proceeds go directly to the people making the prayer flags. Each strand of prayer flags consists of nine panels, each 6"-5", and the strand is approximately 54" long. They look great indoors or outdoors! If you would like this set of prayer flags in a color combination other than the one shown, check out our custom color options offered for $3.00 over our regular price. The following colors are available: Scarlet, Deep Orange, Golden Yellow, Bright Green, Turquoise and Plum. Our panels are dyed twice so each panel has unique and varied shading. (Please allow two weeks for delivery for all custom items).
