It can mean different things: the hand of Judas, usually holding a bag of coins; a hand holding hair or open by itself symbolizing the ill treatment of Christ by the soldiers.<br />RRichard Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08223212749911692689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-344482387409714942.post-29530392951621474772021-04-04T20:19:15.302-07:002021-04-04T20:19:15.302-07:00This blog is a treasure. ¿under the feet of the at...This blog is a treasure. ¿under the feet of the atrium cross is a severed hand?Héctor Torreshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06796958750334278106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-344482387409714942.post-15440805531856332152020-12-02T13:13:21.888-08:002020-12-02T13:13:21.888-08:00Pierre,

I've just completed an extendsive tour of your blog posts, It was entertaining and informative but I was unable to spot photos of an atrial cross that much impressed me on an earlier visit. Perhaps you will recog<br />nize it from this description: the backside has a large All-Seeing Eye just over the crossing, an ear on the right arm (ostensibly the ear of Malchus, servant of the high priest that was severed by the apostle Peter. I prefer to think of it as the all-hearing ear) and, on the left, a hand holding a pen or brush. Ring a bell?<br />Lucky Pierrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15360651522411688698noreply@blogger.com
