Image of St.Thomas

Rubens has created a moving portrait of St. Thomas. A weary and gentle countenance looks down on anyone who looks up to him. His face is thin with pain. It is wrinkled with doubt, thought and pain. His eyes are tired from the many sleepless nights and he spent and the many tears he wept. But through all of this the joy of seeing the risen Savior appears.

The way once so dark and gloomy, was again illuminated by the splendor of the glory and the joy of his returned Master. Then did his eternal goal became clear to be the far most missionary among the 12 Apostles.
