I think that all of these are pretty self-explanatory, except for maybe the last one. I like the symbolism of this family gleaning the field together. Missionaries are told that the field is white, ready to harvest, but families need to be involved in missionary work together.
What are some of your favorite religious pieces of art?

You put up some of my favorites. Some of these are "classics" that I grew up with, and maybe that's why I like them more. And maybe I like them because they don't make Christ look like a cartoon, or show him with a goatee. Ugh. You have excellent taste :)
