Tuesday in the Second Week of Lent

While today’s Gospel reading is a scene of teaching that does not lend itself to any sort of particularization in its visual representation and would only be identifiable by proximity to the text, today’s epistle introduces Elijah/Elias to the widow at Sarepta/Zarephata, whose son he will subsequently revive, but here Elijah first provides for them oil and flour without end (see Luke 4.26), a story that does receive representation, such as on this 12th-century enamel cross (Google Art Project, British Museum Online Catalogue Entry).
