"Christiana: A Journey of Faith, Courage, and Hope" Step into the captivating world Hartley Maternity Home in Colne, Lancashire. This historical landmark has been a sanctuary for expectant mothers since its establishment. With open arms and compassionate hearts, it embraces women during their journey to motherhood. In the enchanting lithograph titled "Christiana crossing the river, " we witness her traversing treacherous waters on her pilgrimage. Inspired by John Bunyan's timeless masterpiece, The Pilgrim's Progress, this image captures Christiana's unwavering determination amidst adversity. As Mrs Timorous and Mercy visit Christiana in another lithograph from the same collection, we are reminded of the power of friendship and support along life's challenging paths. Together they navigate through Doubting Castle's ruins where Giant Despair once reigned supreme. The Frontispiece from the Second Part of The Pilgrims Progress From This World reveals an intriguing glimpse into Christiana's continued odyssey. Her encounters with various characters like Fool and Want-Wit reflect universal human experiences that resonate across time. In Fjord Christinia, a mesmerizing oil painting created in 1915 by an unknown artist, we are transported to a serene landscape that evokes tranquility and serenity—a stark contrast to Christiana’s arduous journey but perhaps symbolic of moments she cherished along the way. "The man with the muck-rake" litho reminds us not to be consumed by material possessions or worldly distractions as we strive towards our spiritual goals—lessons still relevant today as they were when first penned centuries ago. Witnessing Christiana being entertained by the Interpreter offers insight into her growth throughout her pilgrimage—an exploration of faith deepening over time as she gains wisdom from those who guide her path. Mercy and Timorous' call on Christiana showcases how compassion can bridge gaps between individuals despite initial differences or fears, and is a testament to the power of empathy and understanding.
