From the Ethnographic Museum

Ron & I encountered what are called "Pensive Christs" at the Zakopane cemetery.

We usually see Christ preaching, or suffering on the cross or in the Passion...but there's a tradition in the south of Poland of showing Him deep in thought. Pensive.

(Channeling George Carlin here): "Let's see, what should I have for that last supper? Rye or whole-wheat...wait, there's that great bakery around the corner has challa to die for..."
