Look at this picture. what you see? Christ on the cross? Wrong! depicts a woman. The Legend tells of a beautiful young, rich family, "Kuemmernis" chaste and sober life. One day the father decided to marry her. She desperately did not want and I pray 'Lord make her so ugly to be rejected. Within a single night the grown a long beard! This, however, 'for the people was a clear sign of witchcraft, so its fate was to be crucified. A vagabond
saw her and decided to play for her hit the violin. in thanksgiving let the woman 'that one of his shoes of gold slipped from the feet. But people ', seeing the tramp with the beautiful shoes I think' that he had stolen! so they decided to put to death too. He accepts' fate, but asked as a last wish for her to play again. He played soft music and she dropped the second shoe, so the people knew that the man was innocent and his life was saved.
Unfortunately the churches were very few examples of this "holy", which is distinct from Christ because wears as a whole and often e'raffigurata with at least one gold shoe (feet nailed and not even the wounds on the body) and sometimes with a violin next. We know that Christianity was able to take the pictures already existing in the creed of the people and appropriated by replacing or deleting the previous ones. I do not know if this is a case in point, but I leave you with one last gem.
Often the female figures in the frescoes are 3. invidivuate as faith, hope, charity represent what was once youth, maturity, old age and death . you notice the colors of clothing that have maintained similar colors (white, red, blue / green or black).
know if the good Christian loses the "right path" and of virtue as' the unique key by which we can come back? the Penance! ... and penance and 'the translation from the German "Kuemmernis.
