...white banner adorned with four crucifixes loomed over the crowd at the Church of the Transfiguration in Garwolin, a rural community 40 miles southeast of Warsaw. THERE WAS NO PLACE FOR YOU, CHRIST, AT OUR SCHOOL, the banner said. In any other modern secular country, that message might simply have been a routine protest against the separation of church and state. But in Poland, where approximately 90% of the population is Roman Catholic, and the church is the only institution powerful enough to challenge the state, a battle over crucifixes in the classroom last week sparked one of the most...
...Christians trace their heritage directly to Jesus. People from the coastal cities of Sidon and Tyre went to Galilee to hear Christ preach, and on at least one occasion Jesus visited what is now southern Lebanon.

Since then he has been constantly on the move, giving articulate, passionate sermons in churches large and small, and raising funds in a manner indistinguishable from taking up a collection...
...this show, now seems a wholly epic form of human character. It moves from the tenderness of his child portraits and the demure, precise eroticism of early works like Salome through the powerful confidence of his portraits and the majestic diction of the Escorial's recently cleaned Christ on the Cross, and so on to the late works...
