”Come Taste & See” depicts a breathtaking vista from the Mount of Beatitudes. Lush green slopes unfurl, their beauty accentuated by a riot of crimson Anemone Coronaria, Israel's national flower. Delicate and bold, these blooms dance in the breeze, a promise of new life echoing against the golden canvas of the Sea of Galilee. The scene evokes a profound sense of peace. The viewer can almost feel the warmth of the sun and the gentle caress of the breeze. The vastness of the landscape, the sparkling sea, and the vibrant carpet of red flowers inspire awe and wonder at the beauty of creation. But there's a deeper message woven into the scene. The Anemones echo Jesus' words about the lilies of the field (Matthew 6:28-29). Like these simple flowers, unburdened by labor or need for finery, their beauty surpasses even the grandeur of King Solomon's robes. In the same way, faith offers a richness and fulfilment that transcends material possessions. "Come Taste & See" transcends a mere landscape. It's a visual invitation to a deeper spiritual connection. It beckons the viewer to contemplate the beauty of nature, to savour the present moment, and to connect with the divine essence that permeates all creation.
