Salvator Mundi.
"From the earliest centuries of the Church’s history, Friday was dedicated to the memory of the suffering and death of the Lord Jesus Christ, as a day on which we should make a special effort to practice penitence. The seasons and days of penitence in the course of the Liturgical year (Lent, and each Friday) are therefore intense moments of the Church’s penitential practice." This crucifix hangs in the Basilica of the National Shrine of St Elizabeth Ann Seton in Emmitsburg, MD.
