Believers Gather Hand in Hand by a Lamp

Prompt

Hebrews 10: 'Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering... not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together' - first-century Hebrew Christians who took joyfully the spoiling of their goods. In a plain stone house in Jerusalem, a small group of believers - an older man, a young mother, a youth - sit close together around an oil lamp and a loaf of bread, hands joined, encouraging one another, faces steady and joyful; through the doorway behind, an overturned chest and scattered belongings show their goods were plundered. Warm golden lamplight, intimate and brave. The men wear wrapped turbans or head-cloths over their hair. Style: a blend of photo-realism and cinema, like a still from a big-budget film. Bright, rich, saturated, luminous colour, clear daylight or glowing golden light even in dramatic scenes, never murky or muddy, crisp detail, real human faces full of emotion, shallow depth of field, subtle film grain. Simple, uncluttered composition: ONE clear scene from this chapter, with the chapter's main character or characters large, close and central in the upper and middle frame, and a simple background. No montage, no collage, no inset vignettes, no crowd of small figures competing for attention. Historically accurate ancient Near Eastern clothing, architecture and landscape. Keep the bottom quarter of the frame simple and uncluttered (ground, water or sky) so a large chapter number can be set over it. Absolutely no text, no letters, no words, no numbers, no logos, no watermark, no border, no frame.
