“Christmas and Easter can be subjects for poetry,
but Good Friday, like Auschwitz, cannot. The reality is so horrible it is not
surprising that people should have found it a stumbling block to faith.” —British
poet W.H. Auden (1907-1973), A Certain World: A Commonplace Book
(1970)

painter Peter Gertner.)
