EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print captures the solemn reminder of mortality that a wayside cross provides to travellers. Dating back to 1502, this illustration from Wynkyn de Worde's The Ordynarye of Chrysten Men serves as a powerful symbol of death and religious concepts.
The image of the cross stands tall and imposing, its presence evoking a sense of reverence and contemplation. For centuries, crosses have served as reminders of the fragility of life and the inevitability of death. As travellers pass by this wayside cross, they are confronted with their own mortality, prompting them to reflect on their lives and actions.
The historical significance of this image cannot be understated. It is a testament to the enduring power of religious symbols in shaping human understanding and behavior. In an age where death was ever-present due to disease, war, and other dangers, such reminders were crucial for individuals to contemplate their own mortality and strive for spiritual growth.
As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded not only of our shared human experience but also of the timeless truths encapsulated in religious teachings. The wayside cross continues to stand as a poignant symbol that transcends time and space, urging us to ponder our place in the grand scheme of existence.
