Crucifix
Good Friday is observed on the Friday before Easter Sunday. On this day Christians commemorate the passion, or suffering, and death on the cross of the Lord, Jesus Christ. Many Christians spend this day in fasting, prayer, repentance, and meditation on the agony and suffering of Christ on the cross.
About this artwork: I created this charcoal drawing of the crucifix in 2006
Amended
Thomas Kinkade, the master of light, passed away today 4/6/2012
May he Rest in Peace.

/ April 5, 2012Beautiful! I love the illumination in the center of the image. In addition to the obvious, it brings to mind energy, turbulence and transparency.
Deb

Deb

Novroz
/ April 6, 2012There is a different? Sorry I didn’t know, can you share me the different.
Deb
/ April 6, 2012Not a different story, just part of it. before before Jesus had risen from the dead he was first crucified, then taken from the cross and layed to rest in a tomb till he rose from the dead on the 3rd day.
Joh 19:38 And after these things, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus (but secretly for fear of the Jews) begged of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus. And Pilate gave permission. Then he came and took the body of Jesus.
Later he rose from the dead.
Here is a link for story.
