Christ is the central figure of the San Damiano Cross.
The largest figure depicted is that of the Crucified Christ, shown with his hands and feet pierced by nails, a crown of thorns on his, and a wound at his side. Nevertheless he doesn’t appear to be suffering – he radiates strength, life and hope in the midst of the horror of the Crucifixion.
