The title points to the cross itself, the image that ties Easter together for Christians. Good Friday marks the crucifixion, and Easter Sunday celebrates the resurrection that followed, so the cross carries both grief and triumph in a single symbol. In many churches the cross is veiled in purple cloth during Lent and uncovered at the Easter service, a gesture that makes the change visible to the congregation. Look closely at how the artist frames the cross and what surrounds it, since those choices shape whether the scene feels solemn or hopeful.
