Cleaning a Crucifix
This photo, purportedly from 1938, looks at first glance like a woman is cruelly hosing down a starving child. Look closer, however, and it’s clear that she’s actually cleaning a statue of Jesus Christ upon the cross – a common sight in many Christian churches across the world. Even though this picture isn’t quite as terrifying as it initially looks, surely there must have been a better way to get the statue clean?
