Title:Prayer of Millions...suffering Europe
Notes:"Image of woman praying, extracted from US Food Administration WWI poster "Prayer of Millions." The position of her hands, upraised, as in the "orans" position of the early Christians, is spoken of by the writer of Nehemiah. This position of praise, honor, and supplication is an ancient one, still practiced throughout the world.
