A modern day interpretation of The Parable of The Ten Virgins as found in Matthew, Chapter 25:1-13. It portrays distractions that can prevent us from filling our lamps with the oil of conversion: Judging, Noise, Extreme, Materialism, and Pride. It also portrays values young women are taught through the Gospel of Jesus Christ that help us carefully fill our lamps drop by drop: Divine Nature, Individual Worth and Knowledge, Good works, Choice and Accountability, Integrity, Faith & Virtue.

As daughters of Heavenly Father we are meant to shine. We are not ordinary. We are brilliant, beautiful and powerful. May this artwork be a reminder of the distractions and values of our time and remind us that today is the day to prepare.

“Wherefore, be faithful, praying always, having your lamps trimmed and burning, and oil with you, that you may be ready at the coming of the Bridegroom.” (D&C 33:17) Choose You This Day.

#11, Faith and Virtue

Faith and Virtue clothes herself in white, symbolizing purity.
Her shoes are removed; she stands in holy places.  Her braided hair represents her past, present, and future being connected.  She sits upon a pillar, the cornerstone and foundation of her faith, the Savior’s teachings, and that of his servants.  The key around her neck represents the restored priesthood keys that bind her family together for eternity.  Her lamp of testimony is filled drop by drop with the oil of conversion.  Gazing toward her Heavenly Father, she is calm in a world of confusion and turmoil.  She regularly attends the temple.  As a daughter of God, her beauty radiates from living a virtuous and chaste life.
Proverbs 31:10  “Who can find a virtuous woman?  for her price is far above rubies.”
