Holy Week has begun, and in many Catholic churches the images are muffled, or covered up with purple cloths – all part of the tradition of sensory deprivation that happens at this time of year, forcing us to concentrate without distractions on the Passion of the Lord. Therefore it will seem entirely wrong to many if I suggest what to look at and what to read during Holy Week. But here it goes.
It would be good to have some mental image of the sacrifice of Calvary. One such, which is extremely popular with certain theologians, is the Isenheim Altarpiece, photos of which are available here, thanks to Wikipedia.
