Interestingly, the book History of the Cross quotes one late 17th - century writer who asked: “Can it be pleasing to the blessed Jesus to behold His disciples glorying in the image of that instrument of capital punishment on which He [supposedly] patiently and innocently suffered, despising the shame? ”
On huvitav, et raamat „History of the Cross ” tsiteerib üht 17. sajandi kirjanikku, kes esitas küsimuse:„ Kas õnnistatud Jeesusel on tõesti meeldiv vaadata, kuidas tema jüngrid austavad selle [oletatava] hukkamisvahendi kuju, millel ta aeglaselt ja süütult kannatas, hoolimata häbist? ”
