This scarf is our first artist collaboration, created with Erin McAtee! The design is inspired by the Bible verse of John:15—the vine and the branches, pruning, and healing.
 
The pelican is a Middle Ages symbol of Christ
The blood pouring from the center of the pelican transform into vines stretching across the scarf
The watercolor medium mimics blood and water flowing from Christ's heart
The scarf includes handwritten parts of “Adoro Te Devote," the book of Isaiah, and the Liturgy of the Hours written by St. Thomas Aquinas: “Bring the tender tale true of the Pelican; Bathe me, Jesu Lord, in what Thy bosom ran blood whereof a single drop has power to win all the world forgiveness of its world of sin.”
 
“Pierced by Love, we receive; in turn we are invited to imitate this sacrifice. We share this nourishment through our fragile vessels, offering His love to the wounded – We are happy to be wounded by God who heals us as He wounds.” (Liturgy of the Hours)
