bonsaye	12:47p	Christmas realism The world around me makes it easy to intellectually acknowledge, but yet disregard Jesus's humble birth. I think about who he is in heaven, sitting in glory and honor as our advocate and intercessor at the right hand of God, more than I think about him as a man growing up in the turn-of-the-millennium Middle East, in a land of dust, political turmoil, and hard work to scratch out a daily living. But this is part of his experience as well... This painting of the angel Gabriel's appearance to Mary was pointed out to me today. Typically, artists clothe Mary in sumptuous and costly fabric and surround her with grand architecture. Not that they actually thought a first-century Jewish girl wore such clothes or lived among such buildings. Rather, historical realism was not the driving motivation. Because they painted the woman who would bear the Son of God, artists throughout the ages depict Mary with great dignity and honor -- at least according to their own conception of those terms. But Tanner clothes Mary in simple peasant fabric and places her in a room with rough-hewn stone flooring and ugly, cracked plaster. Even the vase in the background is of the common ceramic variety with no adornment. While other artists depict Gabriel coming to Mary while she is reading, thus showing her industry, intellect, and piety, Tanner's Mary seems to have been doing nothing -- just sitting on her bed. Look closely and you will even see her bare toes. How shocking! Take note how the simplicity of the scene conveys serenity, matching the humble submission to God’s will expressed on Mary’s face. Though no shining aureole hovers above this peasant girl’s head, we cannot miss her special status as "the favored of God."
