<b>Breathtaking illustrations accompany text from the King James Bible in this reverent depiction of the Easter story.</b><br> <br> Jan Pienkowski’s <i>Easter</i> depicts the most important story in the Christian religion with stunning illustrations: black silhouettes and decorative gold ink against brilliant jewel-like colors. The text is selected from the King James version of the Bible (The Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), and presents a clear and meaningful telling of the last supper, the betrayal by Judas, the trial before Pontius Pilate, the crucifixion, and the resurrection of Jesus. Originally published in 1989, <i>Easter</i> is a beautiful work of art and a book that families will treasure at Easter time and throughout the year.<br> <br> “Dazzling beauty and poignant emotion suffuse these illustrations, which give an intensely personal interpretation of the King James version of the Easter gospels.” <i>—School Library Journal</i>, Starred
