  6. Interesting painting. At church our minister talked about how Jesus revealed himself first to women, a major move in recognizing women had value!

    1. Especially since they required two adult male agreeing witnesses to testify to anything. What a woman said didn't count at all unless it was corroborated by two adult men. And yet it was women who were chosen to be first.
