After a seminar on 'The Lenten
Days, Sacred Tri-Duum and Its Decor' held by Dorothea few days ago, we're
entering the Lenten season which beginning with the Ash Wednesday. The question
is 'Is there any different in Cathedral church decor?' You're curious about it,
right? So, let's check it out.
Tadaa..., here's what the Altar
looked like on the Ash Wednesday, February 13, 2013.
The design's devided into 2
parts, the upper and the lower. On each part we used a nest which made of small
stems as container as well as focal point besides the flowers made of corn leaf
and the fruits of kebembem tree. Most of the materials are dried leaves, seeds
and branches, the only plant we used here is the vines.
Actually the original design is
just like this sketch. But because of no budget, so we have to be creative and
omit some materials then substitute them with what we had at that time and some
were borrowed such as the burlap and stones which were taken from the little
pond of one of the member of Margriet.
The concept is that during the
lenten season, the Catholic usually do spiritual preparation before the feast
of Easter such as doing penance, more often praying, fasting and abstinence or
other meaningful acts.
In decoration, it was interpreted
by Margriet Team by using dried flowers/leaves/branches which have natural
color a bit of dark.
The design is just like a concept
of waterfall. It's divided into 2 parts, the one which is higher and the other
one is placed lower. Water naturally flows from a higher to a lower place. And
after going through many steep and winding roads, it finally goes to the
estuary where many small animals and plants live. We're all expected to be able to behave like
that, bring good to others and be humble just like a proverb, 'the older the
rice plant the more growing down'. We believe It's not an easy thing to do but
should be tried at least, right?
