Mary's story in henna art is a delicate tracing of flowers and circles demonstrating the mystery of the Holy Spirit's work, resulting in Jesus' birth. The pathway back to God is visible in 5 circle designs.
The design includes Mary, Joseph, the Wiseman, two Shepherd's staffs, and points of the star.

I'm starting with mostly the Arabic designs from the hennastories.org website, because I prefer them (ok, and they are easier, too!).

Here's a sample of using Romans 6:23 from the design by Henna Stories to share the Good News from more of a shame and honor perspective.
