The Burning Bush

 Byzantine Mosaic

Through out religious history,

many faiths have followed the belief

that God spoke to Moses on Mt. Sinai by

appearing to him as a bush in flames. 

by Eugene Pluchart, 1848

 Saint Isaac's Cathedral, St. Petersburg, Russia.

God, telling Moses to remove his shoes

as he was standing on Holy Ground, 
directed him to lead
the Israelites out of Egypt.

by Raphael Santi
  


The bush was on fire, 

but did not burn.

by Elizabeth Wang, 2004

Artists through the centuries
have depicted the Burning Bush,
and generations upon generations

have been reared 

on the miracle of the Burning Bush.

So what else would one call 

a large deciduous shrub 

that looked like it was on fire?

A Burning Bush!

Otherwise known as 

Euonymus Alatus Compacta,

the Burning Bush

turns the most gorgeous shades of 

FLAME RED 

during the fall months in North America.

A color so vibrant,

it looks to be on fire!

You can't drive past one 

without taking a second glance

and appreciating the miraculous beauty of a Burning Bush!

Like some of the most famous pieces of art,

God reminds us that His beauty is everywhere ~

~ we just need to slow down long enough to see it!
