A BEAUTY !
DO YOU KNOW THE STORY ?

I IMAGINE EVERYONE KNOWS THE LEGEND... BUT JUST IN CASE....

•THE STIGMAS REPRESENTING THE 3 NAILS USED IN THE CRUCIFIXION.

•THE STYLE, THE SPONGE USED TO MOISTEN CHRIST'S LIPS WITH VINEGAR.

•THE FIVE STAMENS THE COLOR OF BLOOD DEPICT THE 5 WOUNDS THAT CHRIST RECEIVED.

•THE 72 CORONA FILAMENTS TIPPED WITH BLOOD RED, WERE DESCRIBED AS REFLECTING THE TRADITIONAL NUMBER OF THORNS IN THE CROWN OF THORNS.

•THE CENTRAL COLUMN- AGAINST WHICH HE WAS SCOURGED.

•THE TEN SEPALS AND PETALS REPRESENT THE 10 APOSTLES (EXCLUDED ARE JUDAS AND PETER).

•THE SPIRALED TENDRILS-THE LASH OF CHRIST'S SCOURGING

•THE LEAVES- THE HEAD OF THE CENTURION'S SPEAR.THE UNDER-SIDE OF THE LEAVES WERE MARKED WITH DARK SPOTS TO REPRESENT THE THIRTY PIECES OF SILVER.

•THE ROUND FRUIT- THE WORLD CHRIST CAME TO SAVE.THE FRAGRANCE - THE SPICES PREPARED BY THE HOLY WOMEN
