Description

A landscape image of a religious scene: four people kneeling at God's feet. God's arms are raised, and has a gold halo around the head. They are wearing a white robe with blue fabric draped over the sohulder. There is a dove above God's head emminating yellow beams of light in a blue sky. To the left and right there are two brown scriptures. From left to right they read, "blessed you poor one in spirit, for yours is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you who mourn for you will be comforted. Blessed are you meek one, you will inherit the land Blessed are you who's clean of heart for you will see God. Blessed are you who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for you will be satisfied Blessed you are merciful one for you will be shown mercy. Blessed are you peacemaker for you will be called a child of God. Blessed are you who is persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for yours is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when they insult you and persecute you and utter every kind of evil against you falsey because of me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward will be great in heaven."
