devotion to the tortured Christ

One of the most interesting aspects of this crucifix is that, while the sculpted Christ is emphasised as the victory upon death, the shadow shows a tortured person in deep suffering. Casual Arianism?

We must all walk the path of suffering (death of the ego) before the final transformation can take place. Great shot.

Interesting commentary & altho he suffered greatly, it is indeed a victory ~ Nice testures; works well in B&W
