"Mary Magdalene - Invitation to Love" Janet McKenzie (2010)
McKenzie was the 2013 William Belden Nobel lecturer at Memorial Church at Harvard University and first came to prominence in 2000 with her painting "Jesus of the People," which won the National Catholic Reporter's "Jesus at the Millenium" global art competition. Her works have been collected in Holiness and the Feminine Spirit: The Art of Janet McKenzie and in The Way of the Cross: The Path to New Life, a collaboration with Sister Joan Chittester.
The cathedral will host a closing reception with the artist on Dec. 3, from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. McKenzie will give a talk and sign books. The evening will continue with a candlelit Advent labyrinth walk at 5 p.m., led by former cathedral dean Jep Streit.
The exhibit is a partnership between the Cathedral Church of St. Paul, the Boston Harbor Deanery and Bethany House of Prayer in Arlington.
The cathedral is open weekdays and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Saturdays 10 a.m.-4 p.m., and Thursdays 10 a.m.-8 p.m.
