The Alabaster Box
This relief captures a moment of profound humility and devotion—Mary Magdalene bowing before Jesus, washing His feet with her tears and drying them with her hair. In this intimate gesture, she pours out not only the costly fragrance from her alabaster box but also the fullness of her heart in worship, undeterred by judgment or reproach.

Her bowed head symbolizes the depth of her reverence, while the act itself speaks to a love so pure and surrendered that it disregards the world’s scorn. This work calls viewers to reflect on their own hearts of worship—to remain steadfast in adoration despite criticism, distraction, or denial.

As Mary broke open her alabaster box without reservation, may we too offer our devotion wholly and without fear, trusting that true worship is seen and received by the One who is worthy.
