Jesus is taken down from the cross

Stations of the Cross By A.Vonn Hartung

This station imagines Nicodemus, John, Mother Mary, and her saintly companions taking down the precious body of our Lord from the cross. The cross becomes a holy relic, therefore seen as a vertical golden light. This light of grace spreads horizontally into His saints and will at Pentecost spread throughout the world to His believers as the breath of God in The Holy Spirit. NOTE—These original Stations of the Cross were painted for a Catholic church in Puerto Rico. The artist conceived them with the community in mind and they include many of the spiritual and cultural qualities of Puerto Rico. (Photo by Greger Norrevik)
