30 monet

It was pleasant to the touch, delighting the palms with silk strands and a multitude of beautiful multi-colored threads and stones.
Meanwhile, it contains 30 silver tetradrachms.
The story is sad and rich in meanings.
He who loves to inhale the air with his nostrils until it hurts, with a full chest, learns not only the righteousness of speeches and the holiness of forms.
He sees that freedom is hungry, and any food from someone else's palm is just a pretext to become overgrown with shackles of any matter that is not free in this world!
Therefore, we often praise those who desire this more than life, and are ready to trample anyone, trying to clear the road on their way.
Let us return to the coins and history, which we have forgotten because it is undesirable to all those who greedily thirst to Be, and not to seem to this day, although thousands of times have passed since then.
The teacher arrived with his disciples on the eve of Easter in the city of Jerusalem.
And in the morning rays Glaphyra, a princess from Cappadocia, saw Him, who had remarried, with one of the sons of the king who had passed into oblivion.
And despite the fact that Archelaus did not receive omnipotence and the kingdom, he became an ethnarch - the ruler of the people. But the power of all walls, laws and order was with his brother Herod Antipas.
For all the vicissitudes, popular uprisings and riots - the Roman Emperor Augustus confirmed only the right to the throne and the right to be, but gave power to another.
And no matter how life was in marriage with Glaphyra, wise, gentle and happy, everything that happened gave grief and pain.
Therefore, the son of Herod the Great was his true child, breaking other people's destinies to this day.
Glafira's sorrow was in her eyes, her prayers for the soul of her husband and all those who stood in the wrong place and bowed not to the edge, finding peace only in death and mutilation from her despotic husband.
That morning she hurried to meet Christ, so that he would cleanse the consciousness and soul of her husband, as the Teacher had repeatedly done with lepers and those who had fallen over the edge.
The disciples, seeing a woman in rich clothes, hoped that there would be a place to rest from the long journey. And they would not have to look for an inn again for money.
But the Teacher immediately gave orders to the disciples: find shelter, buy wine and food.
And he himself left with Glafira...
Their conversation with her husband was brief.
Everything that Archelaus told was reflected in a few words:
“I cannot do otherwise. I am the fruit of what was done to me. I do not decide and do not give a reason - they come themselves, as if carrying their fate with them. And you, Christ, I have heard those words that you often pronounce. You will not be spared for them, calm down, or be ready to accept payment in other coins.
The teacher smiled, bowed and left.
But Archelaus's heart heard the prayer.
Glafira went to the square to take some money in a purse embroidered with rainbow threads, stones and pearls.
It contained thirty tetradrachms, of course in silver.
At the time of the speeches from the platform, the treasurer Judas stood at a distance, and accepted all the alms and gifts humbly and wished good to those who brought them from heaven.
What happened to all this further - History distributed roles, meanings and fate.
When Christ was judged, Archelaus and Glafira did not want to be among all those who condemned.
The heavens wove the fabric of history in ambiguous patterns and colors. Some try to hold on to common sense, trying to cruelly punish those who do not listen to advice.
Others give advice without looking at themselves.
Everyone else doesn't care until the pain of realizations penetrates with some kind of illness and loss.
But we have been given a life in which humility and obedience are worth more than kingdoms and power.
Everything in this life is fiction and illusion.
And one day we will become decay under the feet of new rebels who have come to defeat common sense and faith.
And just as the Teacher became an example for us, so we become an example for children.
For each of us, History carries separate lessons.
And only those who have lost all meaning in life, having become lonely, have deep wrinkles.
And yet, in the history of Christ, not everything is so unambiguously simple, and an answer was found.
Here lies a wallet and next to it thirty silver coins...

Canvas. Oil.
