There were two other guys crucified alongside Jesus, thieves I think. And you'll occasionally see the scene represented with all three crosses.<br /><br />The only thing that would steer me away form that explanation might be that the largest cross is on the left -- or right, depending on which way you look at it. The point being, it's not in the <i>center</i> which is supposed to be where Jesus was hung up. You'd think if that was the theme for this, the largest of the three would be the one in the middle. But that could be a trick of the light or the angle, or the carver might have just had a lousy eye for dimensions.<br /><br />Truth is I really have no idea, which is why I called this "speculation".Mojohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03498213932233245032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-46268393303643232002009-06-03T20:14:18.149+03:002009-06-03T20:14:18.149+03:00Marvelous choice for monochrome ;--)

They may just be someones way of marking that they were there, like a workman who writes his name or initials on an interior wall that is to be covered and may never be seen. I think they might have just done if for themselves or to mark the way for others of their sect.Clueless in Bostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00246601221880879890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7629413949146506359.post-40384501870412978742009-06-01T01:45:56.989+03:002009-06-01T01:45:56.989+03:00I love this shot, it makes a perfect mono.
