We continue our discussion of the sixteenth century Flemish painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder and his painting “The Procession to Calvary.” Throughout, we refer to the 2011 movie “The Mill and the Cross.” As you tend to your heart this Holy Week, we invite you to meditate on this painting, along with our (fumbling) discussion. Also, we finish reciting the poem “The Sacrifice” by George Herbert. Be sure to watch the video of this episode to view the painting as we talk about it.
