The Crucifixion Framed Canvas Icon

The Crucifixion icon depicts Christ upon the Cross at Golgotha, His Mother and Saint John the Evangelist standing in sorrow at His feet, while the sun and moon are sometimes shown veiled in mourning above. The icon does not turn away from the weight of what is shown, yet neither does it dwell upon despair, for even here the Church has always read victory hidden within apparent defeat, the Cross becoming, through Christ's own willing sacrifice, the very instrument of the world's salvation. Beneath the foot of the Cross a skull is often depicted, marking the place tradition holds to be the burial site of Adam, so that the blood of the new Adam might fall directly upon the old, undoing through obedience what disobedience had once begun. This icon stands at the very centre of the Christian faith, and brought into the home, it offers a daily and sobering reminder of the price by which redemption was won.

“Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23:34)

O Christ our God, who didst stretch forth Thine arms upon the Cross to draw all men unto Thyself, grant us grace to take up our own cross daily, and to forgive as freely as Thou didst forgive from the wood of Calvary. Amen.
