INDIANA - This past Sunday was Advent Sunday, a holyday marking a period of great anticipation for the birth of Jesus Christ on December 25. It also marks the start of the liturgical season for Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican, and Methodist churches who wear violet-coloured or blue vestments on this first day, and the first violet or blue Advent candle is lit at Mass. In some years Advent Sunday is in November as in 2011, and sometimes December as in December 2012, but it always begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas Day. Indiana watercolorist, Ryan Petrow captures the anticipation of the season, if not in Advent colors but in the red & white colors most often associated with the season in with his work, "Something Great is Coming" (above) now on view at the Indiana Interchurch Center Gallery, 1100 W. 42nd Street, Indianapolis. The painting of a pregnant young woman surrounding by a variety of symbols remains on view through December 31. For more information, call (317)755-8400.
