The Drama of Faith Week #3

I was staying at an Airbnb last weekend, and the house was decked out in this sort of stucco-type-
mexican-pueblo-gothic smattering of styles kind of place. As i rounded that spiral staircase to the 3rd floor of the house to where the master suite was, i came upon this dramatic lighting. I imagine it is meant to inspire a spiritual response, as it is a cross, with the crucified Jesus hanging from it.  Although you cannot tell from the picture, the statue itself is quite detailed with blood dripping from his ribs and visible bones from where the spikes are driven through the hands and feet. A reminder to be thankful for all he did for his followers and eventually Christianity. I always have trouble with these cast idols, i remember the bible forbidding these types of things, but churches and religious zealots always seem to have these around as a constant reminder. I do not know the rules anymore, so i am not judging their choice, but it usually makes me uncomfortable since I do not hang my personal spiritual beliefs for all the world to see in horrifying detail, however i can truly respect the choice of matching this particular idol under a spotlight in a recess, in a wall, at the top of a staircase, in front of a master bedroom. Every detail more exacting and dramatic than the next. A watchful eye on whatever you may do here.... The drama of their faith is a potent aspect of this place and it is obvious that above all else, the dedication to their beliefs is paramount.
