About this sermon
A famous depiction of the Crucifixion of Our Lord that is beloved by Pope Francis has left the United States for the first time, and it is headed to Rome to be part of the Jubilee Year 2025. In response to the horrifying events of Kristallnacht, Russian-French artist Marc Chagall painted one of his masterpieces: the White Crucifixion. The crucified Jesus is in the center of the masterpiece, clothed in traditional Jewish garments, amid scenes of persecution in Nazi Germany. He is a symbol of all Jews suffering at that time. From the pillaged village and fleeing villagers on the left side of the canvas to the synagogue and its Torah ark going up in flames on the right, the violent images Chagall depicted came from actual events in the years leading up to the painting. The famous artwork is normally part of the permanent collection at the Art Institute of Chicago.
