☩ “The Covenant of Mercy – Heavenly Blessings” portrays a majestic coronation scene in which Our Lady Saint Mary is crowned in the presence of the Holy Trinity. Above her, a crown is blessed by both Christ and God the Father, while the Holy Spirit descends in the form of a radiant white dove, sealing the moment in eternal light.

☩ Rooted in the Ethiopian Orthodox tradition of Kidane Mihret (“Covenant of Mercy” in Ge’ez), the painting reflects God’s eternal promise of grace and mercy through the intercession of St. Mary. Celebrated on Yekatit 16 (February 23), this feast commemorates Mary’s plea on behalf of all who honor her and do good in her name.

☩ This piece captures the spiritual legacy of Mary’s compassion at Golgotha, where she knelt before her crucified Son, praying for mercy on behalf of the faithful. In response, Christ solemnly vowed never to break His covenant with her.

☩ Surrounded by the Four Living Creatures—Lion, Ox, Eagle, and Man—the painting radiates divine order, symbolizing the harmony of heaven. With vibrant colors and sacred geometry, this 2023 original by Haile Maskel Samuels invites contemplation of divine love, forgiveness, and heavenly blessing.
