The Sanhedrin, Israel’s highest court, broke their own laws by trying Jesus at night. Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Peter denied knowing Jesus out of fear, just as Jesus had foretold.
In the midst of His trial, Jesus turned and looked at Peter. Despite Peter’s denial, Jesus had prayed for him, knowing he would repent and later become a leader in the early church.

For six agonizing hours, Jesus endured the cross, forsaken and rejected. From noon to 3 pm, a supernatural darkness covered the land, a phenomenon recorded not only in Scripture but also in historical accounts, Roman archives, and even ancient Chinese records.
In His final moments, amidst His suffering, Jesus entrusted His mother to John, the only disciple who stayed by His side. Though Jesus had siblings, they did not believe in Him at the time, making John the chosen one to care for Mary.

When the guards came to arrest Jesus, He said, “I am,” a powerful declaration of His identity as God. This echoes God’s words to Moses in Exodus: “I AM WHO I AM.” At these words, the guards fell back, showing His divine authority.
Jesus willingly allowed Himself to be arrested, though He could have called on thousands of angels for help. He chose to fulfill the Scriptures, laying down His life as a sacrifice for humanity.

Jesus attended a wedding at Cana where the host of the wedding ran out of wine. What could have turned out to be an embarrassing situation for the couple turned out to be greater celebration when Jesus turned six stone pots of water into wine, exceeding the wine that ran out.

After the feeding of the 5000, Jesus went up the mountain to pray while His disciples got into the boat. At 3-6 A.M., the boat was in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, causing the disciples to struggle. Jesus then went down the mountain and walked towards the boat on the water.
The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
the floods have lifted up their voice;
the floods lift up their roaring.
Mightier than the thunders of many waters,
mightier than the waves of the sea,
the Lord on high is mighty!
[Psalm 93:3-4]

After Jesus was resurrected, He appeared to His disciples in Jerusalem. But Thomas, one of the twelve, was not with them. When told about Jesus’ appearance, Thomas said he would not believe unless he had seen and felt the nail print in Jesus hands and the wound in His side. True enough, Jesus appeared to them again after eight days, and invited Thomas to touch His wounds. Thomas then exclaimed, “My Lord and my God!” To which Jesus responded, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” The story of Thomas is interesting for many reasons, one of which being a demonstration of the disciples’ early understanding that Jesus is God. To date, the earliest record of this account is found in Papyrus 66, which is dated within the lifetime of the people who knew and walked with Jesus.

After the death of Jesus, two disciples were on the road to Emmaus. One of them was Cleopas although the other one was not mentioned by name. However we read from John 19:25 that Cleopas had a wife named Mary, so it seems likely that Mary was that unnamed disciple. A stranger joined them along the way, and they discussed the things that had just happened to Jesus. Little did they know that the stranger who talked to them was the resurrected Jesus Himself (their eyes were restrained from recognising Him), who explained to them that the things that happened were the fulfilment of what the prophets have spoken. Then, beginning at Moses and the prophets, He expounded to them all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself. The journey from Jerusalem to Emmaus was about seven miles and took roughly three hours, so that was quite a lot of teaching that Jesus did along the way.

The crosses used for the Romans for crucifixion consisted of two pieces of rough, unfinished wood. The patibulum (crossbeam) and the stipe (upright post). The stipe was fixed to the ground with a horizontal groove near the top. Jesus’ hands were first nailed to the patibulum before the patibulum was inserted into the groove of the stipe. The Romans then nailed His feet to the base of the stipe. Crucifixion leads to death by suffocation and exhaustion, as the victim had to continuously lift himself up by his legs just to take a breath, exacerbating the already terrible wounds on the feet, before His weight slowly pulled him down. This is why the Romans, who wanted the victims to die so that they can take the bodies down before the Sabbath day, broke the legs of the two thieves who were crucified with Jesus. But Jesus’ legs were not broken as He had already died by then, having finished His work of atonement and dismissed His spirit.

After going through hours of beating, torture and a brutal scourging, Jesus was made to bear the patibulum (the heavy crossbeam of the cross) and carry it to Golgotha. So weakened was Jesus’ physical condition, that the Romans compelled a man, Simon of Cyrene, to bear the cross after Jesus. Among the crowd of onlookers were some of Jesus followers who mourned and lamented for Him. But Jesus’ concern, in spite of His suffering, was for His people, as He said to the women who wept for Him, “Weep not for Me, but for yourselves, and your children.” “For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?”

Pontius Pilate ordered Jesus to be scourged, which was often a legal preliminary before Roman executions. The prisoner was stripped and chained by the wrists to a short pillar while two soldiers (Lictors) stood on either side and took turns to flog the victim. The instrument used by the lictors was the flagellum, which consisted of several leather strips connected to a handle. The leather strips contained pieces of metal and bone, and was designed to remove flesh each time a person was flogged. Prisoners were often flogged to a state of collapse and even death. Psalm 129 describes the pain Jesus went through quite graphically: “The plowers plowed upon my back: they made long their furrows.”

It was customary for the Roman authority to release a prisoner during the Passover feast. Pontius Pilate, who was governor, had intended to release Jesus. But the crowd, incited by the chief priests, insisted that Jesus be crucified, and that Barabbas, a rebel and a murderer, be released instead. And so a guilty man went free while an innocent man went to the cross instead. But unbeknownst to everyone, this was the will of God, that His Son might die as the Substitute for the sins of mankind.

The chief priests and elders had plotted to destroy Jesus for some time. But they didn’t want to do it during the Passover feast and risk provoking the crowd who followed Jesus. They finally saw an opportunity when Judas, one of Jesus’ disciples, agreed to betray Him to them for thirty pieces of silver. Judas had given the chief priests and elders a prearranged signal: He would identify Jesus to them by greeting Jesus with a kiss. Jesus, knowing that all these happened so that Scripture might be fulfilled, remains stoic and determined to fulfil His destiny.

The night before the crucifixion, Jesus was in the garden of Gethsemane. The One who led a sinless life would soon bear the sins of the entire world in His body on the cross, and the sorrow and distress that Jesus felt was so great that his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling to the ground. This has been identified as a condition called hematohidrosis, in which capillary blood vessels that feed the sweat gland rupture, causing them to exude blood in conditions of extreme physical or emotional stress.

A crowd gathers by the waters to listen to a parable, a simple story being told to illustrate a moral or spiritual truth. They respond to the truth told in various ways — some turn a deaf ear, some agree but stay unmoved; yet for some, they apply the lessons which bear fruit in their lives. How would you respond?

On the morning that Jesus met with Peter, he and his friends had come from a long, unfruitful night of fishing in the Sea of Galilee. All their toil and labour amounted to nothing. Disheartened, they were ready to admit defeat and return to shore.
Now Jesus, knowing what Peter and his friends had gone through, asked them to lower their nets once more. “Teacher, we have worked all night and caught nothing. But because You told me to, I will let the net down.” Peter's response was to obey. At that moment, their nets began to overflow with fish and the boats were teeming with a bountiful harvest. While the other fishermen are frantically grabbing fish, we see Peter and Jesus sharing a holy moment. A moment when man meets with God in the flesh and it changes his life forever.

By the time the Wise men met Jesus, Jesus was not in a manger but in a house. Here they presented their gifts to Him and worshipped Him. Then being divinely warned in a dream that they should not report back to Herod, they went back to their own country another way.

Contrary to popular depictions of the Nativity scene, the Magi (Wise men) do not meet Jesus until some time later. The Magi were a priestly class and travelled in large company with armed men.
The kingdom of Judea at the time was a client state of the Roman Republic, and Herod (who didn’t have a royal Jewish ancestry) was appointed as King by the Roman Senate. In contrast, both Mary’s and Joseph’s lineage could be traced back to King David, giving Jesus double claim to the throne of King David.
Hence when the Magi arrived in Jerusalem asking, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews?’, King Herod was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

Jewish law at the time required women to go to the temple forty days after giving birth, which brought Joseph, Mary and the infant Jesus to the temple in Jerusalem. It was here that they would meet Simeon, a devout man who had been told by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death until he had seen the Christ. Approaching from a distance is Anna the prophetess. This is Jesus’ first visit to the temple in Jerusalem.

During the time of Jesus’ birth, Caesar Augustus ordered a census (for taxation purposes), thus requiring Joseph to go back to his own town to be registered. Since Joseph was a descendant of King David, that meant he had to travel to Bethlehem, which was also known as the town of David. This was, of course, a difficult journey for both Joseph and Mary, who was heavily pregnant at the time.

The proclamation of the birth of Jesus was first made to shepherds living out in the fields by night. This was most likely between September to November, when the climate was still warm enough for the shepherds and their sheep to be in the field overnight. So it was during the dark of night when an angel appeared to them from Heaven and said, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.”

The Christmas Story series employs hyper-realism as a tool to depict the events of Christmas with meticulous attention to detail and accuracy. The artist’s intention is not to convey a sanitised version of Christmas but one that captures the ‘dirt, grime and sociopolitical intrigue’ of the times, inviting the viewer to investigate and consider for himself the truth behind the events of Christmas.

‘Uphill’ is a depiction of our day-to-day walk through the hills and valleys of life, as we take often uneven steps and make uncertain strides toward our destinations.
The roads we walk on may have been traveled by many who have passed the same way before, but it is providence that guides us and illuminates our paths.

One of the features of modern life is the maze of choices we often find ourselves in when making even the most minor of decisions. Sometimes, a simple selection can become complicated by countless considerations over minute details.
Yet the sea of options is a blessing and a luxury of the times we live in. We contemplate because we can spare the time to do so, and we ponder because we have the freedom to choose.
Artist Profile
Dominique Fam is a Singapore-based illustrator who has been drawing for as long as he can remember. Without any formal training at first, he began drawing and painting as a form of expression for his vivid imagination. Initially intending to pursue a more academic path, he decided to forego traditional college and enrolled in design school after receiving a scholarship to study graphic design when he was sixteenl
Since a picture speaks a thousand words, Dominique often approaches each work as a translation from what he sees in his mind to what a viewer can interact with visually. Because of this, he works in a hyper-realistic style (which he likens to a formal equivalence), as well as more abstract forms (which to a more dynamic equivalence). His subjects range from ‘slice-of-life scenes’ to more philosophical and religious concepts.
In addition to commercial work with branding/advertising agencies, he has done numerous commissioned pieces such as digital paintings/prints. He has also written and illustrated comic books, graphic novels, as well as picture books.

The cross, once a symbol of humiliation and death, was transformed by Jesus' sacrifice into a sign of salvation and love.
Jesus, the Son of God, willingly endured the cross to atone for the sins of the world, perfectly uniting God’s justice and mercy. Through His death and resurrection, the cross became the ultimate expression of divine love and redemption.
