Eleventh Station : Death at the cross




"All things are now accomplished"
John

The white Christ hangs in an extreme gesture of love against an utterly dislocated cosmos. He went to extremes - till death. In an all-encompassing gesture - the arms spread out until beyond the painting so as not let anyone escape - He promises the world forgiveness and glory for all and for ever!
