To confirm that Christ was dead, one of the Roman centurions pierced his side with a spear, releasing a flow of blood and water from the body. Calling on the Fathers of the Church, Tissot sees in this incident \u201cthe image of many very touching mysteries.\u201d Most notably, he alludes to the sacramental significance of water and blood, respectively, in the Christian rites of Baptism and the Eucharist.Object metadata can change over time, please check the Brooklyn Museum object record for the latest information.
