The Christ Portrait

Communing with Christ

A favorite place to sit is before the portrait of the Living Christ that Flower A. Newhouse commissioned the artist Arthur G. Learned to create in 1955. Through letters, she described how she remembered our Lord in Palestine and how she has seen Him look on the Inner. The original portrait is displayed in the Chapel of the Holy Quest for all to meditate upon.
