Mergia’s Seven Days of Creation portrays an awe-inspiring illustration based on the opening passages of Genesis, the Old Testament narrative on the sequential creation of our world. In the submittal process for the architecture commission, Mergia actually presented a series of seven paintings that were selected by the church to become exterior glass mosaic murals. And while the first six days of the Old Testament passages provide plenty of imagery to guide Mergia, his depiction of the seventh day of rest was far more organic and developed through hours of prayer and meditation.
