Redeeming Grief

This is a section of a sculpture at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at the University of Notre Dame. It is the removal of Jesus' body from the cross. I felt the artist did an amazing job of capturing the facial expressions on each person in the scene. The man behind Jesus particularly intrigued me, and the grief is evident on his face. Imagine the look on his face 3 days later, when they found the empty tomb, or after that, when Jesus appeared to the desicples in the locked room.
