The poppy is one of our most-loved enduring symbols. Fields erupting with red poppies have come to symbolise the shedding of blood in war. Wearing a poppy over our hearts twice a year shows we care about our history, we respect and remember the great many lives lost. "The Voice in the Paint. The Blood Speaks.

More DescriptionThe poppy is one of our most-loved enduring symbols. Fields erupting with red poppies have come to symbolise the shedding of blood in war. Wearing a poppy over our hearts twice a year shows we care about our history, we respect and remember the great many lives lost. "The Voice in the Paint. The Blood Speaks. Symbolism of the Poppy in Prophetic Paintings" is an anthology of 49 international prophetic artists, photographers, writers, and poets, who each investigated what the poppy meant for them, and creatively expressed their revelation of what the 'poppy's voice' was saying."There is something deeply evocative about poppies ... Behind each one is a story of sorrow and the aching chasm of loss." John Lewis SchumannPoppies mean remembrance, they represent peace, consolation, eternal sleep, death, and hope. Poppies are worn in honour on ANZAC Day, Memorial Day, Remembrance, Armistice, and Veterans Days.Poppies have a significant spiritual meaning, especially for Christians. Prophetically speaking, the colour red conveys the Passion of Christ and the poppy symbolises the blood that speaks through eternity. "In the spirit, everything has a fullness and is experienced by all five senses. Paint is more than colour, it is sound, smell and taste. I listen to prophetic art as it is the voice in the paint that gives us the word of God." Helen Ivicevich.The collected works were collated, curated, and edited by artist Wendy Manzo, with the Foreword written by John Lewis Schumann, writer of "I Was Only 19".
