Since I was young, an image has been a part of my life in reference to prayer. A sideways view of two hands that have come together in prayer was a plaster casting my dad made from a mold. My mom would stain and varnish the plaster castings after dad had poured them. We would sell them at fairs and carnivals along with dad’s paintings.
The praying hands were from Albrecht Durer’s woodcut from the 1500’s. When I think of hands praying, this image from 500 years ago comes into my mind’s eye as a favorite. What's your favorite praying hands?
