Seven Last Words from the Cross the colour of compassion and clemency
--Pravat Kumar Padhy (Bhubaneswar, India)
Comment by David McMurray
The haikuist referred to seven sayings, Jesus Christ’s last words that were spoken on a Friday in April of the year 33. His epitaph revealed what was ultimately important to a dying man nailed onto a wooden cross: 1. Forgiveness, 2. Salvation, 3. Relationship, 4. Abandonment, 5. Distress, 6. Triumph and 7. Reunion.
