Crucifixion

This beautiful hand carved olive wood sculpture displays the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.

A prickly crown of thorns was placed on his head and he was stripped naked. Too weak to carry his cross, Simon of Cyrene was forced to carry it for him. He was led to Golgotha where he would be crucified. … Jesus hung on the cross for his final agonizing breaths, a period that lasted about six hours.
