Passiontide, a period of intense reflection and devotion, encompasses the final two weeks of Lent leading up to Easter, and is during this time that Christians commemorate the suffering and death of Jesus Christ, as well as his ultimate triumph over death through his Resurrection. Artworks from different eras capture the essence of Passiontide, allowing us to delve into the profound emotions surrounding these events. Take for instance "Resurrection of Christ" painted around 1485-1500; it portrays the glorious moment when Jesus rises from the dead, bringing hope and redemption to humanity. Another powerful piece is "Carrying the Cross, " an oil painting created in 1587. This artwork depicts Jesus' arduous journey towards Calvary while bearing his cross—a poignant reminder of his sacrifice for mankind's salvation. The Tabernacle of Cherves, crafted between 1220-30 using copper and champleve enamel techniques, stands as a testament to faith. Its intricate design showcases scenes from Christ's life and serves as a place where believers can find solace in their spiritual journey. In contrast, "Jesus stripped of his garments" by an unknown artist in 1501 captures a somber moment before Crucifixion. The tempera on panel technique enhances its emotional impact by highlighting every detail with precision. "The Deposition, " painted between 1510-20 with oil on panel medium, illustrates grief-stricken figures carefully lowering Jesus' body after being taken down from the cross. This scene evokes deep sorrow but also reminds us that even in death there is beauty and grace. One cannot overlook The Cloisters Cross made around c. 1150-60 using walrus ivory—an exquisite example of medieval craftsmanship depicting scenes from both Old Testament prophecies and New Testament events related to Passiontide. Its delicate carvings invite contemplation on Christ's sacrifice for humanity's sins.
