Quote of the Day (Christina Rossetti, on ‘Jesus, Man's Redeemer’)

“Up Thy Hill of Sorrows

Thou all alone,

Jesus, man's Redeemer,

Climbing to a Throne:

Thro' the world triumphant,

Thro' the Church in pain,

Which think to look upon Thee

No more again.”— English poet Christina Rossetti (1830-1894), “Good Friday Morning,” from The Complete Poems, edited by R. W. Crump and Betty S. Flowers

The image accompanying this post is The Crucifixion with Donors and Saints Peter and Margaret, by Dutch painter Cornelis Engebrechtsz (ca. 1461–1527). This oil-and-wood painting now hangs in New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art.
