medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture In a message dated 2/6/07 8:32:22 AM Pacific Standard Time, [log in to unmask] writes: examples where crucifixes are literally "dressed" like images of the Virgin? A practice current and I think ancient in many parts of Latin America and Mexico and obviously from Spain: Some crucifixes are made with a detachable corpus. This is carried in procession on Holy Thursday, then hung on the cross during the Good Friday devotions and eventually taken down and put into a glass "casket". These are images which have human hair and are dressed. Some are kept on view during the year uin a casket and are known as Jesus Entierra (the buried Jesus). ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: join medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: leave medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/medieval-religion.html
