This is the crucifix at the front of my church. On Good Friday the purple veil of Lent was removed, and I saw again the starkness of the crucifixion. It is hideous. God among us, dying the most painful death that man could imagine. It hurt to look at it.Today I saw it in the early dawn of Easter morning. It is still hideous, but that is not why I cried. I looked on Him who gave himself for us, and I saw love.
