Marc Chagall: White Crucifixion

When I try to bow to thee, my obeisance
cannot reach
down to the depth
where thy feet rest among the poorest,
and lowliest, and lost.

Marc Chagall

White Crucifixion

The image of Golgotha as a mirror of hatred inflicted in our age is a wonderful and terrifying depiction of incarnational grace.

The Tallith - Prayer Shawl becomes a means and a symbol of modesty in the midst of the pogroms.
