'Verily, It Came to Pass' portrays Saints quarterback with teammates; guess who's Judas?

A painting of the Last Supper has appeared on a balcony overlooking Bayou St. John, with quarterback Drew Brees as the focal point. It is inscribed with the words “Verily, It Came to Pass,” referring to the recent retirement of beloved number 9, one of the greatest passers in NFL history, after 15 seasons with the New Orleans Saints.

The latter-day Leonardo da Vinci who created the work is Stephany Lyman, an artist and writer who taught English at the University of New Orleans for 30 years. Lyman is a devoted Who Dat. Sure, she has some misgivings about the NFL’s politics and policies, but still, she believes in the black and gold. Particularly because of the role the Saints played raising the spirits of New Orleanians during the post-Katrina recovery.
