Tips from the Community
The sacral wayside shrine, commonly known by the name ENGELKREUZ, which we encounter here, is – contrary to its name – no longer an image of the cross, but instead shows the viewer a different image of Christ. The modern-looking imagery presents us not with the suffering Son of God who died on the cross, but with the one resurrected from death and glorified by God the Father. The attentive observer might feel reminded of a new interpretation of the classic PANTOCRATOR motif.
