Detail of painting, TissotGood Friday.
High Holy Day.
The Passion of Christ.
Via Dolorosa.
Crucifixion.
Utter sorrow.
Fasting.
Veneration of the Cross.
Empty tabernacles.
Hungry, tired, hard, sad.
Really, horror.
Nikolaï Gay (1831-1894)
Nikolaï Gay (1831-1894)Unfathomable.
An unspeakable, truly, tough day.
Good, yes, but the hardest most unspeakable kind of good.
A mystery of good.
Painting by Tissot, “What Christ saw from the Cross”
But yes, glorious good; if unseen as such then, and sometimes now.
We wait.
