From the introduction:

Sacred art is for our veneration, and scenes of the crucifixion are there to remind us of Christ’s sacrifice. But their true purpose is to remind the viewer that we owe Christ our gratitude for His gift to us of redemption. When we look upon such artwork it is not only to celebrate Christ but also a moment of reflection into our own lives – are we doing what God asks of us?
