1694 1775 Churchman Founder Order Paolo
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the profound devotion and spiritual intensity of Paolo Danei a Cruce, also known as Saint Paul of the Cross (1694-1775). Born in Ovada, Italy, Paolo was called to a life of religious dedication from an early age. He founded the Passionist Order in 1720, a religious congregation devoted to the Passion of Christ, which quickly gained a reputation for its austere piety and deep contemplation of the sufferings of Christ. In this striking depiction, Saint Paul of the Cross is shown in the traditional habit of the Passionist Order, with a cross prominently displayed on his chest. His intense gaze and deeply lined face reflect the years of devotion and prayer that marked his life. The somber colors and dramatic lighting of the print add to the sense of solemnity and reverence, making it a fitting tribute to this remarkable Italian churchman and founder of the Passionist Order. Born on January 3, 1694, Paolo Danei a Cruce spent his early years working as a laborer before feeling the call to the priesthood. He was ordained in 1722 and began to preach the Passion of Christ with great fervor, attracting a devoted following. In 1720, he founded the Passionist Order, which spread rapidly throughout Europe and beyond. Paolo died on October 18, 1775, leaving behind a legacy of spiritual devotion and a deep commitment to the sufferings of Christ. This image serves as a powerful reminder of his enduring impact on the history of the Catholic Church and the world.
