With Sacred Devotion – The Pilgrim (Feminine version), Zack Zublena captures the universal gesture of prayer in one of its most intimate and vulnerable forms. Painted in shimmering gold, the female figure sits cross-legged with hands pressed together, embodying silence, humility, and surrender before the divine.
Her unclothed state reflects the essence of prayer itself — a return to purity, simplicity, and truth before God. In this vision, nothing distracts or conceals; she appears as humanity was first created, stripped of all artifice, offering the whole self in communion with the sacred. She becomes gold, transformed through the all-encompassing embrace of Jesus’ love. This is not an instant miracle, but the ultimate stage of prayer and devotion — the fruit of persistence, surrender, and communion with the divine. In this vision, gold is the final seal of sanctity, the visible expression of a soul completely united with Christ’s eternal love.
The application of gold transforms this vulnerability into transcendence. Across history, gold has symbolized divinity, incorruptibility, and eternal light — a theme Zack explores in depth in his book The Sacred Power of Gold (available on Amazon). In this vision, the worshipper turns gold because she is touched by the sacred: her body becomes a living icon, reflecting the light of heaven and the unbroken link between humanity and the divine.
This work serves as the feminine counterpart to Zublena’s celebrated Pilgrim and Worshipper pieces, expanding his exploration of prayer and devotion into a fuller vision of sacred humanity. Where the male works radiate strength and perseverance, this feminine version carries tenderness, receptivity, and grace — reminding us that worship is not about perfection, but about opening fully to God’s presence.
For Catholics, this image resonates deeply with the long tradition of adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. Its stillness mirrors the posture of countless souls who spend hours in churches and chapels around the world, surrendering themselves in quiet prayer. It recalls the intimate moments of adoration nights at the Sacré-Cœur Basilica in Paris, where perpetual prayer has continued unbroken since 1885 — a place where Zack himself has spent many nights, as Catholics may sleep and keep vigil in continuous prayer.
Beyond Paris, the piece evokes the atmosphere of sacred sites across the world where prayer transforms lives: Lourdes in France, Fátima in Portugal, Czestochowa in Poland, the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City, the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, the Vatican in Rome, Mount Athos in Greece, and Medjugorje in Bosnia-Herzegovina, where Mother Mary has been appearing and giving messages since 1981. Zack has personally been to Medjugorje three times — in 2006, 2014, and 2025 — each visit profoundly deepening his devotion and shaping his artistic path, changing his life under Mother Mary’s guidance.
This fine art piece is more than decor: it is a modern icon, a visual meditation on humility, worship, and divine connection. By inviting this image into a space, one also invites the atmosphere of devotion that has filled the world’s greatest sanctuaries for centuries.
