The Instruments of the Passion
Objects of faith and suffering
Flagellation, a crown of thorns, hammer, nails, pliers, lances, vinegar-soaked sponge and ladder, dice and Jesus' garments: nothing connected with Christ's crucifixion was left out of this baroque crucifixion group from Gröden. The reason is simple: the Instruments of the Passion were considered powerful weapons in the fight against evil. The house that this devotional item originates from is not known.
