When Jesus arrived in Gaza he saw a sight that moved him deeply, for he saw the desperation and hopelessness in the people's eyes. Without hesitation, he stepped forward, brimming with love and purpose.

As the people gathered around him, Jesus began laying his hands on the sick, one by one. And as he did, a miraculous power surged through his touch, bringing healing to their broken bodies and peace to their troubled souls. The blind received sight, the lame began to walk, and the deaf could hear again.

The crowd stood in awe, witnessing this incredible display of divine power. They had heard of Jesus' mighty deeds, but to witness it firsthand was something entirely different. They marveled at his compassion and his ability to restore life and health in an instant.

He spoke words of comfort, reassuring them of their worth and belovedness. He reminded them that they were not forgotten, that God saw their pain and cared deeply for them.

As the sun set and the evening drew near, Jesus continued to minister to the crowd, tirelessly pouring out his love and healing touch. No one was turned away or left untouched. In him, they found not only physical healing but the restoration of their weary spirits.

Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (March 1475 – 18 February 1564), was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and engineer of the High Renaissance who exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western art. Despite making few forays beyond the arts, his versatility in the disciplines he took up was of such a high order that he is often considered a contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man, along with contemporary rival and fellow Florentine Medici client, Leonardo da Vinci.

A number of Michelangelo's works in painting, sculpture, and architecture rank among the most famous in existence. His output in every field of interest was prodigious; given the sheer volume of surviving correspondence, sketches, and reminiscences taken into account, he is the best-documented artist of the 16th century.

Two of his best-known works, the Pietà and David, were sculpted before the age of thirty. Despite his low opinion of painting, Michelangelo also created two of the most influential frescoes in the history of Western art: the scenes from Genesis on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in Rome, and The Last Judgment on its altar wall. As an architect, Michelangelo pioneered the Mannerist style at the Laurentian Library. At the age of 74, he succeeded Antonio da Sangallo the Younger as the architect of St. Peter's Basilica. Michelangelo transformed the plan, the western end being finished to Michelangelo's design, the dome being completed after his death with some modification.

In his lifetime he was also often called Il Divino ("the divine one"). One of the qualities most admired by his contemporaries was his terribilità, a sense of awe-inspiring grandeur, and it was the attempts of subsequent artists to imitate Michelangelo's impassioned and highly personal style that resulted in Mannerism, the next major movement in Western art after the High Renaissance.

Amid the massive doom that has been lying over Gaza in the Israel-Hamas war for the past six months, a miracle took place as a baby was delivered safely and alive from the womb of a Palestinian woman who was killed during an attack by Israel in Gaza city of Rafah on Sunday. More on this story

The nativity of Jesus, nativity of Christ, birth of Jesus or birth of Christ is described in the biblical gospels of Luke and Matthew. The two accounts agree that Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judaea, his mother Mary was betrothed to a man named Joseph, who was descended from King David and was not his biological father, and that his birth was caused by divine intervention. Many modern scholars consider the birth narratives unhistorical because they are laced with theology and present two different accounts which cannot be harmonised into a single coherent narrative, but also many view the discussion of historicity as secondary, given that gospels were primarily written as theological documents rather than chronological timelines.

The nativity is the basis for the Christian holiday of Christmas and plays a major role in the Christian liturgical year. Many Christians traditionally display small manger scenes depicting the nativity in their homes, or attend nativity plays or Christmas pageants focusing on the nativity cycle in the Bible. Elaborate nativity displays called "creche scenes", featuring life-sized statues, are a tradition in many continental European countries during the Christmas season.

The artistic depiction of the nativity has been an important subject for Christian artists since the 4th century. Artistic depictions of the nativity scene since the 13th century have emphasized the humility of Jesus and promoted a more tender image of him, a major change from the early "Lord and Master" image, mirroring changes in the common approaches taken by Christian pastoral ministry during the same era.

A passionate artist driven by traditional ideas of how beauty should be represented, William Joseph Oxer B.A. Hons. (Wrwk) F. R.S.A. formed the intellectual basis to his work under the tutelage of Professor Regius Peter Davidson of Oxford University.

After graduating, William was offered a place at the Prince of Wales' Institute of Architecture but was advised by them to grab the opportunity as role of assistant to Alec Cobbe, artist, restorer and collector.

Living in at Hatchlands Park, Surrey where The Cobbe Collection is based, William was to assist in various projects including an exhibition for the Queens Gallery, Buckingham Palace and large-scale designs for interiors in historic houses such as Goodwood House, Petworth House and Hatchlands Park. He lived at the latter back in 1996, working with restorer and interiors expert, Alec Cobbe. His work also includes period decoration and exhibition design in places such as Christie’s and the Building of Bath Museum, also known as The Museum of Bath Architecture.

Over the past 30 or so years, William has undertaken regular portrait commissions for private clients and now concentrates on producing artworks for exhibitions and collectors across the world. More on William Joseph Oxer
