(ANS – Rome) – The two posters selected by the Rector Major, Fr Ángel Fernández Artime to illustrate the message of his Strenna for 2023: “AS THE YEAST IN TODAY’S HUMAN FAMILY. The lay dimension in the family of Don Bosco” were released today, 24 November 2022. The option of animating the Salesian Family with two different images is therefore renewed once again this year, because both are able to represent the proposed theme well, each enhancing different accents, styles and suggestions. The first of the two posters is the work of the Office of Social Communication of the “St. Anthony” Province of Portugal, and it clearly expresses the industriousness and liveliness of the Salesian Family at the service of young people all over the world, both yesterday and today.
The second illustration for the poster of Strenna 2023 shows one hundred personages rich in details and expressions and is the work of the Spanish artist Agustín de la Torre, Salesian Cooperator and teacher. The author demonstrates a strong desire to reflect in his artistic work all the fruitfulness and extension of the Work of Don Bosco in the world, in harmony with the proposal of the Rector Major, Fr Ángel Fernández Artime, for the theme of the Strenna 2023: “AS THE YEAST IN TODAY’S HUMAN FAMILY. The lay dimension in the family of Don Bosco”.
