Mescalero Apache items removed from parish, then returned
Created by Robert Lentz OFM, an American Franciscan friar and religious icon painter, the Apache Christ originates from the culture of the Mescalero Apache. Christ is depicted as a Mescalero holy man, greeting the sun of the fourth morning of the woman's puberty rites. These are the most sacred of the Apache ceremonies, celebrating the sanctity of the gift of producing new life. A sun symbol is painted on his left palm, and he holds a deer hoof rattle in his right hand. A basket at his feet holds an eagle feather, a grass brush, and bags of tobacco and cattail pollen – items used in the rites. He stands atop 12,000-foot Sierra Blanca, the sacred mountain of the Mescalero. Behind him flies an eagle, the guide who first led the Apache to their "promised land!" The inscription at the bottom of the icon is Apache for "Giver of Life," one of their names for God. The letters in Christ's halo are the Greek version of that name. The Greek letters in the upper corners of the icon are abbreviations for "Jesus Christ."
