Jesus Meets His Mother (Jésus rencontre sa mère) James Tissot (French, 1836-1902). , 1886-1894. Opaque watercolor over graphite on gray wove paper, Image: 10 7/16 x 14 1/4 in. (26.5 x 36.2 cm).

At the fourth station, he meets his mother, Mary, after he falls while carrying his cross to Calvary. Her arms extended toward her son, Mary rushes to his side, accompanied by John the Evangelist and Mary Magdalene. Her compassion stands in marked contrast to the cruelty of his tormentors, who whip him and brandish the nails that will be used to affix him to the cross. European Art 1886-1894

Madness of King Nebuchadnezzar. Although by his ability and military prowess Nebuchadnezzar restored Babylonia to the position of first empire in the world, his mind gave way, and for a time he became a beast of the field. Fancying himself to be an animal, he spent his days in the grounds of the palace and tried to feed upon grass. The prophet Daniel, who tells us of this madness, says: "He was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, til his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers and his nails like birds' claws. Nebuchadnezzar was king of Babylon 605-562 B.C. He determined to make his capital city of Babylon the finest in the world. Nebuchadnezzar is also known for constructing what were called the Hanging Gardens of Babylon.
