Yuri Levi, the artist, is a member of the Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids (OBOD) was inspired by the question: what it would have been like if Jesus had been born among druids? In describing his creative process he says, “I used real leaves from an Oak tree that I have grown, to make a golden crown and place a leaf in his hand, inviting us to simplicity and the peace of the woods”.
It’s an interesting question. One that invites us to imagine the gospel taking flesh in different soil, speaking in the symbols, stories, and wisdom of different cultures, without ceasing to be recognisably Jesus.
