Image Title: Mark Writes His Gospel

Description: A stylized rendering of the Evangelist Mark composing his gospel with a lion at his feet. The lion is the symbol for Mark's gospel, drawing on Ezekiel 1:10, which refers to four creatures, each of which was associated by Irenaeus (d. 220) with one of the four New Testament gospels.
