The Dream of Pilate's Wife Picture

In the ancient world, dreams were often accorded importance. Take the dream of Saint Joseph to take Mary and Jesus away into Egypt. As well as his dream to return and settle in Galilee. Or the dreams of the Magi, warning them not to return to Herod. This glorious image honors the dream of Claudia, the wife of Pontius Pilate, who Scripture records her as saying, "I had a troubling dream. Do not have anything to do with this man." The dream itself is not detailed, so this artist's rendition shows the pagan woman with an angelic messenger showing her the future Passion of Jesus, whom her husband Pontius Pilate would condemn to death. With a heavenly host in the background and others near our Lord.
