Lenten cloths of St. Jakob
The passion of Christ for non-readers
The only Lenten cloth in South Tyrol used to cover the altar during Lent. The story of salvation is told in 24 pictures: from Christ's suffering to the Ascension and Whitsun. The spaces are ordered into four rows, the scenes teem with figures. The cloth painted with tempera on primed canvas was in use in St. Jakob's chapel until 1950, painter unknown.
