Fourth Sunday after Epiphany

Today the Gospel recounts when Christ Stilled the Storm at Sea. In the remains of this fresco from the Monastery of Saint John in Müstair (CH), a personification of the wind blows from the upper left corner. Below, three apostles, in varying degrees of preservation sit in the boat, whose mast also rises from behind the centermost apostle. Christ stands to the right.
