Art Work; Martha and Mary Jesus Mafa Cameroon, 1973 JESUS MAFA is a response to the New Testament readings from the Lectionary by a Christian community in Cameroon, Africa. Each of the readings was selected and adapted to dramatic interpretation by the community members. Photographs of their interpretations were made, and these were then transcribed to paintings. fr: Art in the Christian Tradition, a project of the Vanderbilt Divinity Library, Nashville, TN.
