In Ethiopian Orthodox art, the crucifixion is depicted with vibrant colors and stylized, flat forms that emphasize spiritual meaning and Christ’s divinity rather than his suffering. Christ is typically shown alive and serene, a symbol of victory over death, with figures such as Mary, John, and angels included to underscore the narrative’s significance. The art is not intended to evoke pity or horror but to inspire worship and reflection, presenting the crucifixion as a triumphant, redemptive act central to faith rather than a moment of agony.
