Story of Good Friday and Easter Sunday are contained within this magnificently carv- ed byzantine cross prepared by Frank Graham, of Retreat Cove Galiano Island. The cross is of white holly !| s/.- .-*• wood and was carved out with " it- a penknife. Task took Mr. Graham 20 years. Main cross forms the frame for a picture of Christ in the centre, crowned with thorns. In each of four segments about the centre is a scene from the New Testament story. Mr. Graham has the cross at- r" home and entertains many visi- m «i tors during the summer months ti who come to examine his han- diwork. Although he has resi- ded on Galiano for a number of years, Mr. Graham was a plumbing contractor in Victor- •-•-.' i • ia when this work was carried & m out. The Graham cross has been hailed everywhere that artistry in wood is recognized. At one time it was hung in the Parlia- ment Buildings in Victoria, where thousands of visitors ex- amined it. The detail and precision of *i this masterpiece of fine carv- ing are not clear in a small photograph. The workman- ship defies description. Throughout the ages of Chris- tianity it has been the ambi- tion of artists and painters and sculptors to express something of the meaning of religion in their particular vehicle. Mr. Graham was seized with the same urge. His execution has been loudly commended by all who have seen it. It is published this week as a fitting tribute to this chapter of the Christian year by a tal- ented islander whose skill and patience rival those of the old masters of Europe. '*>
