Faithful Cross ! above all other, One and only noble Tree ! None in foliage, none in blossom, None in fruit thy peer may be. Thy life was given for me ; Thy blood, O Lord, was shed That I might ransomed be, And quickened from the dead. Thy life \vas given for me : What have I given for Thee ? 3** / PIETRO PERUGINO: THE CRUCIFIXION (Hermitage, Petrograd) THIS picture, like that on the cover, is not intended to represent what actually happened on the sad day of Christ's death, but to set before u...s the thought of His Crucifixion and His love towards men. Again, as in our first picture we see Christ nailed to a very high cross, while the Blessed Virgin and S. John stand at its foot. Behind the cross is a landscape of the greatest sweetness and beauty : on the top of a cliff on the left is a castle, and belo\v, just where the river enters a lake, is a town set among trees containing many fine buildings : a high-backed bridge crosses the gently flowing river, and some people are going over it on their way to the broad road that leads to the town.
