Plaque with the Calling of Saints Peter and Andrew. British, ca. 1160\u201380. Champlev\u00e9 enamel on gilded copper. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2013. Accession Number 2013.508.<\/p><p><em>This plaque is a rare and significant example of the medieval art form, demonstrating a pivotal moment in its history. Goldsmiths had traditionally used enamels only as a substitute for colored gems. However, they eventually realized the full potential of this technique as a narrative art form. The Calling of Saints Peter and Andrew is depicted with rich color, precise engraving, dramatic gestures, and intense gazes, bringing the scene to life. Jesus stands at the edge of the Sea of Galilee and calls the brothers to be &#8220;fishers of men.&#8221; The artist captures compelling details, such as Peter gathering up his robe to keep it dry as he steps from the boat and Andrew pushing with an oar against the waves.<\/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-5397f407\" data-id=\"5397f407\" 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-66113cca elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"66113cca\" 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>Calling of the Disciples<\/strong> &#8211; Epiphany Lectionary 2 and 3<\/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-4cef7c74 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4cef7c74\" 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>On the second and third Sundays of Epiphany, the lectionary focuses on the calling of the disciples. Additionally, on January 18th, the Church commemorates the Confession of St. Peter, where he confessed that Jesus was the Christ on the shore of the Galilee.<\/p><p>Most of the initial disciples were fishermen occupied with what seemed to be a successful enterprise, but Jesus called them to fish for people with only two words, &#8220;Follow me!&#8221;<\/p><p>Jesus still speaks these words to those willing to listen. Theologian, physician, missionary, and organist, Albert Schweitzer, eloquently states, &#8220;He comes to us as One unknown, without a name, as of old, by the lakeside, He came to those men who knew Him not. He speaks to us the same words: &#8220;Follow thou me!&#8221; and sets us to the tasks which He has to fulfill for our time. He commands. And to those who obey Him, whether they be wise or simple, He will reveal himself in the toils, the conflicts, the sufferings which they shall pass through in His fellowship, and, as an ineffable mystery, they shall learn in their own experience Who He is.&#8221;<\/p><p>During our visit to the Holy Land on the Sea of Galilee, we gained a new appreciation for tilapia, the primary fish of the Galilee. Its mild flavor pairs effortlessly with Mediterranean spices, and one of the highlights of our trip was eating a whole tilapia deep-fried with an Israeli coin in its mouth, just like the Bible story.<\/p><p>Since it might be challenging to find a whole tilapia at your local grocery store, we are using tilapia fillets for our recipe, pairing them with couscous, a staple of Middle Eastern cuisine. We flavor the tilapia with Za&#8217;atar, an ancient spice blend often comprising marjoram, oregano, and thyme, along with sumac and sesame seeds. The result is a combination with a strong, sharp aroma that has clear nutty notes, complementing the mild fish excellently.<\/p><p>To the couscous, we add pomegranate seeds, feta, and figs. The figs remind us that Jesus saw St. Philip under a fig tree (John 1:48), and their fruitiness blends well with the Middle Eastern spice. Don&#8217;t forget to pick up some pita bread to enjoy with your meal.<\/p><p>This is the kind of feast that Peter&#8217;s mother-in-law would have prepared for Jesus in gratitude for her healing. No wonder Jesus, from so many places, called the lakeside town of Capernaum his hometown. While enjoying this lakeside feast, you may hear those faint words, &#8220;follow me.&#8221;<\/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-f8fd04d elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"f8fd04d\" 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-403c75c\" data-id=\"403c75c\" 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-429b4e1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-wpzoom-elementor-recipe-card-widget-cpt\" data-id=\"429b4e1\" 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=\"8446\" data-recipe-post=\"8446\"><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\/tilapiawithfig-800x530.jpg\" alt=\"Za\u2019atar Spiced Tilapia with Fig and Couscous Salad\" class=\"wpzoom-recipe-card-image\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cookingthechristianyear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/tilapiawithfig-800x530.jpg\" data-pin-description=\"Za\u2019atar Spiced Tilapia with Fig and Couscous Salad\"\/>\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\">Za\u2019atar Spiced Tilapia with Fig and Couscous Salad<\/h2>\n\t\t<div class=\"wpzoom-rating-stars-container\" data-rating=\"0.0\" data-rating-total=\"0\" data-recipe-id=\"8446\" 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\">Flavorful za\u2019atar spiced tilapia fillets are pan-seared and served alongside a refreshing couscous salad studded with sweet figs, green onions, pomegranate, honey, and feta.
