Summary
| Description |
English: The title A Mother There references a line in the 1845 poem "My Father in Heaven" written by Eliza R. Snow: "In the heav'ns are parents single? / No, the thought makes reason stare; / Truth is reason—truth eternal / Tells me I've a mother there." This expresses the often unique notion (compared to much of Christianity) that God the Father is accompanied by a divine feminine God the Mother. This painting is Hafen's depiction of what humanity's relationship to that Heavenly Mother might be like. Hafen painted A Mother There for a 1909 pamphlet published by Ben E. Rich and German E. Ellsworth which provided the words of Snow's poem alongside illustrations by Hafen. This copy is taken from the pamphlet. |
