Description
The statue and or corpse of Jesus on the cross is outside of St. Joseph Church, beneath the cross is a rose garden, it was extremely sunny and alot of glare, this particular statue or corpse appears to be suspended from the cross. The hands are away from the cross. I contacted the church to inquire there was something unique about the corpse of Jesus on the cross. I had seen this particular statue in real life and another local member who's photo reveals the arms of Christ are in fact against the cross. This photo was taken with a Nikon 820 macro zoom, manual settings.

Probably different crucifiers would choose either the hand or the wrist to drive the nails through. Either way it would be agony!

Hello John, thank you so much for viewing Iesus Nazarenvs Rex Ivadaeorum at St. Joseph catholic Church In New Orleans, Louisiana it pleases me this photo appeals to you, there has been on going discussion pertaining to the hands of Jesus not attached to the cross, I have never seen this before I am 62 years old, I was informed the statue was repaired but I am certain it was replaced, another Fine Art of America had taken a photo of the identical corpse just 2 to 3 years ago, and her statue the hands are fixed to the cross, my photo they are not. I appreciate the V/F, Cheers, Michael Hoard

I personally spoke to the Church a little while ago, the photo of the corpse you took was repaired, the photo I recently took the head of the corpse is golden, which I did not notice until after I took the photo. I am somewhat taken the replaced or repaired corpse the arms are not attached to the cross......thank you for viewing and making you generous comments....cheers, Michael Hoard
