The City of God Bible Art Mural Project brings together the Anglican Parish of Christ the King in the City of God in Rio de Janeiro, international mural artist Joel Bergner and local people. In 2010 and 2011 we produced murals of the Garden of Eden, the Last Supper and the New Jerusalem. In 2013 the project takes to the streets to produce two murals for Prophets' Square and Easter Square. Follow the adventure here over the coming days...

Race to the finish
Joel got up at the crack of dawn for an uninterrupted day of painting. With the bishop coming to bless the murals at 6pm there was a deadline to meet. The young people spent the morning hanging their own artwork in church in readiness for the project's closing event to which their families and friends had been invited.
At the end of each session, each of the young people got to have their photograph taken personally with Joel.
