Christ does Christians do say canonically that the church is like Christ's wife.

Marriage—Christ and the Church

22 Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. 24 Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

(Ephesians 5:22-24)

And bridal theology goes back to the Old Testament, in Song of Songs.

    What are your favorite examples of 'media within media' (e.g., shows, stories, or movies inside of other shows or books)? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

    Watched Asteroid City recently for the first time. I thought the play within the movie (and the intertwining back and forth of storylines) was really interesting and entertaining.

    I do hope crossposting is allowed. The sidebar didn't specify.

    Hope your day is going well!

    I haven't drawn in this loose style very much before, but my friend inspired me to try. She said she draws basic shapes (triangles, squares) and then does shading, rather than drawing specific things like body parts. I did much more scribbling.

    What do you think? Anything you like or dislike about my drawings? I'd love to hear :D

    Embroidered a bee onto my jeans 🐝 (imgur.com)
     

    I free-handed a bee and some honeycombs on some jeans with the last of my yellow embroidery floss, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

    I'm not a professional, and I certainly don't do things the way you're "supposed to" (planning things out, sketching them with water-soluble ink/chalk), but I had fun making this and I'm excited to wear it :D

    One thing I learned is that denim requires a thicker needle and not necessarily a sharper tinier one. I was using a thinner one previously and it kept getting stuck between threads and bending when I tried to pull it through. It's way easier with a small embroidery hoop and a big needle!
