#2 - Pope Francis by Debby Bird, Reston, Va. (Oil Paint on Canvas) - "I woke my two year old and my four year old up early from their nap on March 13th, 2013. We sat on the couch watching the news of white smoke and waiting. We snacked on lolly"Popes" and "Pope"corn. My son did not want me to step away from the TV. "Mom don't miss it." When the announcement came and Pope Francis humbly greeted the world, I knew what my next painting would be. Now my son walks past the 24" x 36" painting hanging at "St John Neuman" Church in Reston, Virginia and proudly announces 'Mom that's your painting of Pope Frances'"

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
