The Widow's Mite Gift at St Pauls Church Chicago
In Chicago at St. Pauls German Lutheran church a $1000 painting titled The Sun of the Christ hangs in the vestibule donated by a humble washerwoman Mrs Anna Kuehn. She requested anonymity, saying the gift honors her dead eight year old son and reflects self sacrifice and humility. The piece, praised for sentimental value over monetary cost, parallels the Biblical story of the ointment poured on Christ. The piece also notes benevolence by John D Rockefeller, likening his philanthropy to the deacon’s generosity and the kerosene metaphor in a reflective union of charity and public sentiment.
