This painting of the Sacred Heart of Jesus hangs in St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Brockville, Ontario. Airomi believed it was his best work.
The Sacred Heart is often depicted flaming with divine light, pierced by a lance, encircled by a crown of thorns, and bleeding. In Airomi’s painting, Christ’s wounded hands are pointing at his heart.
In Catholic tradition, the heart of the resurrected body represents the infinite love of Jesus for humanity.
