CROSSES AT CALVARY Wine Glass

The three crosses typically depicted in Christian art represent the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the two thieves crucified alongside him. The cross of Jesus is usually shown as the central and largest one, symbolizing his significance. The thieves' crosses, one on each side, represent the two criminals, with one often depicted as penitent and the other as mocking Jesus. This imagery, based on the accounts in the Gospels, has become a powerful symbol of redemption and forgiveness in Christian theology.
