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...

Sunday best
The sun shone brightly today and Joel was able to work again. During the morning service he gave the congregation a report on the project's first week before getting down to business with spray paint. It was extraordinary to watch the rapid transformation of the initial painting with a few squirts from a can.
Some of the Sunday School children were keen to lend a hand as it all seemed rather more exciting than a colouring book. Later Joel sat down to eat with members of the congregation for our monthly community lunch and made another attempt to discuss what the forbidden fruit should be .
By the end of the afternoon the Tree of Life was nearly copmplete and passers-by have started to stop and stare.
