Widow With 2 Coins

 

This block is called "Widow's Mite" to represent the woman who gave her all spoken of in Mark 12 and Luke 20-21. Here is a poem about her:

 

Two mites, two drops, yet all her house and land,
Fall from a steady heart, though trembling hand :
The other's wanton wealth foams high, and brave ;
The other cast away, she only gave.

 

By Richard Crashaw 1612-1649

This block was a mite pesky, with some pieces smaller than the coins that the widow deposited. I chose copper for the coins, darks for the pious leaders and lawmakers who took it upon themselves to decide exactly what an "acceptable" gift is. The light color is for the light of truth that Jesus is showing his disciples through this widow.
