O soše
Mourning Virgin, made around 1240–1260 and now in the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, once accompanied a crucified Christ that no longer survives. The group may have stood on a rood beam high above a church's sanctuary entrance, marking the limit beyond which lay worshippers could not pass. Such ensembles referred to Christ's sacrifice and presence in the Mass. Their position brought the Crucifixion above the division between the congregation and sanctuary. On view in room 109 Gothic Painting and Sculpture.
Slovy muzea
These traditional devotional figures at one time formed a Crucifixion group with a Crucified Christ (now lost). The ensemble may have been mounted high above the entrance to the sanctuary of a church on a barrier called a rood beam, beyond which lay people were not allowed. Crucifixion groups were common in medieval churches where they symbolized the sacrifice and real presence of Christ in the Mass.
