Passion of Christ from Très Riches Heures du Duc de Berry

 Salvete Omnes,

Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry - French XV century manuscript is a veritable treasure chest of beautiful imagery and symbolism done in the most exquisite style and with outstanding artistic skill and talent. 

But since we are in the Holy Week - La Semana Santa - so I have collected the  Passion of Christ  illuminations from this Late Medieval book of hours or a collection of prayers unified in a book form for praying the canonical hours
