Holy Week from a Korean Perspective

I ran across a very interesting blog called The Western Confucian by Iosue Andreas Sartorius. In it a previous post showcased the paintings of Peter Kim Gi-chang, depicting the life of Christ in a Korean world, a way for Koreans to access the wonder of Christ’s life, death and resurrection, as well as for the rest of us to see that Christ belongs to the world, to every culture. As Pope Paul VI said in his very first encyclical, “The Church must be in dialogue with the world.”

Here are some images pertinent for Holy Week:

Entry into Jerusalem

At the Garden of Olives

Last Supper

Before Pontius Pilate

The Scourging

Way of the Cross

The Crucifixion

Interment in the Tomb
