Altar Mosaic

Altar Mosaic

View of the mosaic on the front of the altar inside the chapel of Dominus Flevit.  Note the mother hen with her chicks under her wings.

It brings to mind the statement(s) of Jesus:  Matt. 23:37 (Luke 13:34) “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing.
