(1773). The Baptism of Christ [Painting]. Mexican. Purchase, Louis V. Bell, Harris Brisbane Dick, Fletcher, and Rogers Funds and Joseph Pulitzer Bequest and several members of The Chairman&#8217;s Council Gifts. (2014). Accession Number: 2014.171. New York. The Metropolitan Museum of Art.<\/p><p><em>This set of five paintings was created by Nicol\u00e1s Enr\u00edquez in 1773 for the private devotional use of Juan Bautista Echeverr\u00eda, a Spanish-born merchant. Echeverr\u00eda&#8217;s choice of subject matter is deeply personal, reflecting his Basque heritage and his lengthy stay in Mexico. Among the paintings, Enr\u00edquez paid particular attention to the portrayal of Echeverr\u00eda&#8217;s namesake, Saint John, who is depicted baptizing Christ in the Jordan. The artist meticulously depicted the glistening drops of water pouring onto Christ&#8217;s head and his feet submerged in the flowing water of the river. An inscription affirms that the painting was created &#8220;due to the devotion&#8221; of its owner.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2c45f36e\" data-id=\"2c45f36e\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f1de55 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2f1de55\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>Baptism of the Lord<\/strong> &#8211; 1st Sunday after the Epiphany<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-22c37e94 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"22c37e94\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The first Sunday of Epiphany is widely celebrated as the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. It used to be part of Epiphany itself, and still is in some traditions. The Baptism is a major revelation of who Jesus is: the Son, the Beloved, and the one in whom God is well-pleased. While his birth was the beginning of his life, the baptism was the beginning of his ministry. This is where Jesus\u2019 identity was confirmed by God, his Father. The church teaches that Jesus was baptized not for his sake so much as for ours.<\/p><p>In our baptisms, we are baptized into Jesus and receive new birth by water and the Spirit. As Christmas is the celebration of Christ\u2019s birth, baptism is the celebration of our new birth in Christ and is therefore a personal Christmas. At the baptism of the Lord, we renew our baptismal vows, confirm the identity that we have in Christ, and celebrate our new birth.<\/p><p>Many traditions use water to mark a sign of the cross on the worshipper&#8217;s forehead in this remembrance. We love the Greek Orthodox tradition of the youth diving into the cold January water to find a hidden cross. This day is an invitation for all of us to take the polar plunge in some way, remembering that we are baptized, and that in Christ, we are God\u2019s children \u2013 sons and daughters, the beloved ones, and we are the ones in whom God is well-pleased.<\/p><p>For this celebration, we are baking seafood stuffed shells. Shells have long been the main symbol of baptism, and having them filled with aquatic bounty makes them seem particularly appropriate. Dive in and enjoy!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-249cd227 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"249cd227\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1ae4dd89\" data-id=\"1ae4dd89\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-48e24f1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wpzoom-elementor-recipe-card-widget-cpt\" data-id=\"48e24f1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"wpzoom-elementor-recipe-card-widget-cpt.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpzoom-custom-recipe-card-post wpzoom-rcb-post-shortcode\" data-parent-id=\"8442\" data-recipe-post=\"8442\"><div id=\"wpzoom-premium-recipe-card\" class=\"wp-block-wpzoom-recipe-card-block-recipe-card header-content-align-center block-alignment-left is-style-newdesign\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"recipe-card-image\">\n\t\t\t<figure>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cookingthechristianyear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/stuffedshells-800x530.jpg\" alt=\"Seafood Stuffed Shells\" class=\"wpzoom-recipe-card-image\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cookingthechristianyear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/stuffedshells-800x530.jpg\" data-pin-description=\"Seafood Stuffed Shells\"\/>\t\t\t\t<figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div><!-- \/.recipe-card-image -->\n\t\t<div class=\"recipe-card-heading\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"recipe-card-title\">Seafood Stuffed Shells<\/h2>\n\t\t<div class=\"wpzoom-rating-stars-container\" data-rating=\"0.0\" data-rating-total=\"0\" data-recipe-id=\"8442\" data-user-can-rate=\"1\">\n\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"wpzoom-rating-stars\"><li class=\"wpz-empty-star wpz-star-icon\"><\/li><li class=\"wpz-empty-star wpz-star-icon\"><\/li><li class=\"wpz-empty-star wpz-star-icon\"><\/li><li class=\"wpz-empty-star wpz-star-icon\"><\/li><li class=\"wpz-empty-star wpz-star-icon\"><\/li><\/ul><span class=\"wpzoom-rating-stars-average\"><small class=\"wpzoom-rating-average\">0<\/small> <small>from<\/small> <small class=\"wpzoom-rating-total-votes\">0<\/small> <small>votes<\/small><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<em class=\"wpzoom-rating-stars-tooltip\"><\/em>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><!-- \/.recipe-card-heading -->\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\t<p class=\"recipe-card-summary\">These Seafood Stuffed Shells are loaded with a flavorful mixture of crabmeat, sea scallops, and shrimp, combined with Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and Old Bay seasoning.

water, cook 6 oz jumbo pasta shells according to package instructions, usually 8 \u2013 10 minutes.<\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-direction-step-6455a06827edf\" class=\"direction-step\">Making sure to reserve the pasta-cooking water for the next step, transfer the cooked shells to a large bowl of cold water until cooled slightly. Drizzle shells very lightly with oil and toss to coat. Set aside.<\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-direction-step-6455a06827ee0\" class=\"direction-step\">Cook 8 oz peeled and deveined shrimp in the pasta water until barely cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes.

Chop shrimp into small pieces.<\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-direction-step-168333325514440\" class=\"direction-step\">In a mixing bowl, combine 1 pound crabmeat, 8 ounces sea scallops (cut into small pieces), 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1\/2 cup mayonnaise, dash of Old Bay seasoning, and 1 medium minced shallot. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.<\/li><li id=\"wpzoom-rcb-direction-step-168333325514441\" class=\"direction-step\">In a small saucepan, melt 1 1\/2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat, being careful to not allow it to brown. Add 1 1\/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour and whisk to form a paste. Continue to cook, continuously stirring for about 1 minute. While still stirring constantly, slowly add 1 1\/2 cups milk . The sauce will initially be very thick, then get very thin once all the milk is added.
