This sacred panel features a stylized ark afloat on peaceful waves, crowned with a radiant cross—an emblem rich in biblical and theological meaning. The Latin phrase Foederis Arca, or “Ark of the Covenant,” refers to the vessel that once carried God’s presence among His people. In Christian tradition, this title also honors Mary, whose womb bore the Word made flesh. As the original Ark held the Law, manna, and priestly authority, Mary bore Christ—fulfilling the Law, offering the Bread of Life, and revealing the eternal High Priest. The image invites viewers into a reflection on divine promise, maternal holiness, and the sacred mystery of the Incarnation. Framed within jewel-toned borders and a golden lattice, the composition echoes both reverence and heavenly order, blending Old Testament iconography with New Testament fulfillment.
