Make a joyful noise unto God, all ye lands; Sing forth the honour of His name: Make His praise glorious. Say unto God, How awesome art Thou in Thy works! Through the greatness of Thy power shall Thy enemies submit themselves unto Thee. All the earth shall worship Thee, And shall sing unto Thee; They shall sing to Thy name. Come and see the works of God; He is awesome in His doing toward the children of men. Come and hear all ye that fear God, And I will declare what He hath done for my soul. (Psalm 66:1-5,16)

A late fifth-century mosaic from the Cappella di Sant'Aquilino - Milan, Italy.
From Baelena Books: 'The finest mosaic in the chapel depicts Christ with a halo holding a scroll and seated on a throne at the centre of the apostles, who do not have halos. At Christ’s feet is container of scrolls, representing sacred scripture. This mosaic is set on a golden background giving a sense of transcendence. The person of Christ is depicted as being young and beardless. The halo includes the XP and Aω christograms, which are not typical elements in Christian iconography and are possibly a product of the Arian Christology that influenced the mosaic’s production.'

This image was scanned from an item in the Williamson Collection of some 450 photographic glass slides and other items, which was acquired by the archives section of the Auchmuty Library. The collection was assembled by Archdeacon A. N. Williamson, who served for many years in the Diocese of Newcastle, as well as travelling extensively in the South Pacific area. The collection vividly portrays town and country life in Australia, particularly in Sydney and the Hunter Valley, soon after the turn of the century. The collection also illustrates life in Japan, Papua New Guinea, Nauru and Fiji, from the turn of the century until the mid-1930s.
