First, this is a beautiful reflection that really spoke to me. Second I have seen many pictures of this crucifix which I always saw as ugly, and historically inaccurate! I wondered why this church or any church would ever display such a crucifix!!!? But your reflection makes it clear. This crucifix is actually historically accurate, but more importantly it is spiritually accurate. Jesus actually did take upon Himself all our sins, all our sorrow, pains, needs and problems, in short all our sufferings!!!!
