It is extremely difficult to find suitable images for an event that took place 2000 years ago and still has a lasting impact on the world today. Most of the images that are published online and in the press around Easter are at worst kitschy, often hackneyed - in the sense that the type of depiction has been used so often that it is hardly touching anymore.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, individual images manage to touch us more deeply - because they show the old truth of redemption from a new perspective. Three Easter pictures have particularly appealed to me in the last few days because they have shown or emphasised new aspects for me.<\/p>\n

- The sacrificial anode<\/strong> (see article from 25 March) <\/a>The comparison with the sacrificial anode that sacrifices itself in steel ships to protect the substance has become an image for me of Christ becoming a sacrifice for us. He offers us the opportunity to channel our inner and physical pain and tensions towards him - instead of letting them destroy our substance.<\/p>\n

- Man as a cross:<\/strong> In the staged performance of the St John Passion<\/a> there was a scene in which Christ walks away from Pilate to Golgotha. He carries his cross. But it is not made of wood. He is carrying a human being on his back, on his cross. This made it very vividly clear: we are the cross that Christ carried.<\/p>\n

\"Christ<\/a>- Christ as hostage.<\/strong> The collage of Peter Aschoff<\/a>I am touched by the image that reminds me of the hostage-takings from Schleyer to Iran. The hands in the picture holding the shield are the hands of his own son; this picture gave me a new sense of what it cost the father to give his son as a hostage for humanity. Not to ransom him, but to let him die. For us.<\/p>\n
