Today is Good Friday, also called Holy Friday, a day when Christians worldwide commemorate the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ.There are several representations of the Crucifixion in the collection of Glencairn Museum. This 13th-century stained glass depiction shows the human responses to the horror of the event—Mary reaches out toward her dead son as if to try to save Him, and John’s head-in-hand gesture is a longstanding convention for expressing grief. (Northern France, c. 1235) -- source link
