Description:

A small study of Hildegard of Bingen depicting viriditas — the greening vitality of God's creation, central to Hildegard's theology. A feather appears as a reference to her well-known words: 'feather on the breath of God.'

Inspiration:

Hildegard's vision of divine life flowing through the natural world and within us — viriditas as the green energy of grace.
