The fifth sorrowful snapdragon: The Crucifixion


 The last snapdragon is the saddest snapdragon. It is the one where Jesus actually dies on the cross.

Jesus' mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, and John.

"Woman, behold your son! Son, behold your mother!" Jesus said. 


From that moment on, John took Mary into his home. 

After Jesus was put up on the cross, the sky got dark, and there was wind and lightning and thunder.

"Father, into your hands I commend my spirit! It is finished!" 

Jesus said these words right before He died. Then, he was taken down from the cross and laid in His mother's arms. 

A very famous sculptor/artist named Michelangelo made a sculpture of this moment. It is called the Pieta. http://catholicthoughts4kids.blogspot.com/2017/08/michelangelo-and-pieta.html

Jesus loves you.
