Welcome to

3rd Annual Very Steampunk Valentine Blog Hop Hosted by non other than Leslierahye who continues to amaze me with all her skills and creativity She is constantly in creation mode for as long as I can remember Despite the freezing cold that all of us have endured thus far in 2014 we still go outside and wrestle the elements to  send love greetings to our friends and family My initial project was an EPIC FAILURE!!!  So wasn't thinking about the physics of gravity ... lol Jump into plan "B" Here is a my piece dedicated to my love of  Steampunk

I started out by getting a candy heart shaped bowl from the dollar store I rubbed some Vaseline to keep it from adhering to the bowl once it's completely dry I used Mod Podge and mixed magicals into it to get the rich vibrant colors 

 I also sprayed my shelled heart with beautiful spray from LSG

I used thin dies from  Cheery Lynn Designs 

Gears, Heart n Gears to shape the heart

Gear Mesh Border  for the background dimension

I am also submitting this project in the Lindy's Stamp Gang  Monthly Color Challege

HISTORY

The Sacred Heart (also known as Most Sacred Heart of Jesus) is one of the most widely practiced and well known devotions, takingJesus' physical heart as the representation of his divine love for humanity.

This devotion is predominantly used in the Catholic Church and among some high-church Anglicans and Lutherans. The devotion especially emphasizes the unmitigated love, compassion, and long-suffering of the heart of Christ towards humanity. The origin of this devotion in its modern form is derived from a French Roman Catholic nun, Marguerite Marie Alacoque, who said she learned the devotion from Jesus during a mystical experience. Predecessors to the modern devotion arose unmistakably in the Middle Ages in various facets of Catholic mysticism.^[1]

In the Roman Catholic tradition, the Sacred Heart has been closely associated with Acts of Reparation to Jesus Christ. In hisencyclical Miserentissimus Redemptor, Pope Pius XI stated: "the spirit of expiation or reparation has always had the first and foremost place in the worship given to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus".^[2] The Golden Arrow Prayer directly refers to the Sacred Heart.

Devotion to the Sacred Heart is sometimes seen in the Eastern Catholic Churches, where it remains a point of controversy and is seen as an example of Liturgical Latinisation.

The Sacred Heart is often depicted in Christian art as a flaming heart shining with divine light, pierced by the lance-wound, encircled by the crown of thorns, surmounted by a cross and bleeding. Sometimes the image is shown shining within the bosom of Christ with his wounded hands pointing at the heart. The wounds and crown of thorns allude to the manner of Jesus' death, while the fire represents the transformative power of divine love.

The Feast of the Sacred Heart has been in the Roman Catholic liturgical calendar since 1856, and is celebrated 19 days afterPentecost. As Pentecost is always celebrated on Sunday, the Feast of the Sacred Heart always falls on a Friday.
