New, exclusive art of St. Josephine Bakhita

Be inspired by the life and holiness of St. Josephine Bakhita! Catholic artist Tianna Williams and Fr. Josh Johnson have partnered with Ascension to create this beautiful piece of sacred art.

Rich with symbolism, this image depicts St. Josephine Bakhita in her religious habit, with historical accuracy down to the smallest detail of her medal of Our Lady of Sorrows (matching the one she wore while she was alive).

Each aspect of the image, from her halo to the sunflowers around her to the chain in her hands, speaks to an important aspect of her saintly life. For St. Josephine Bakhita, holding chains in her hands represents both the freedom from slavery that she found later in her life, and the freedom she found in Christ.

Beautiful, Catholic art is not reserved only for churches and cathedrals—it is available for homes and offices as well.

“Sacred art draws man to adoration, to prayer, and to the love of God” (Catechism of the Catholic Church 2502). With this beautiful image of St. Josephine Bakhita, Catholic churches and homes can be transformed into places of rest, prayer, and faith.

St. Josephine Bakhita, who endured many hardships in her lifetime, reminds Catholics that freedom in Christ and joy in all things is possible.
