I had to resist the urge to title this one “Bored Jesus Is Bored.” Apparently this sculptural motif is actually called “Contemplative Christ,” but man, he just looks tired and disappointed to me. Anyway, this is one of the graves in Peksow Brzyzek in Zakopane, and as you can see, it isn’t your standard Western headstone. (Also, I am exceedingly fond of the moss.)

When we took my old people out looking at Christmas lights one year, there was a display that flashed on three different heights, "Jesus Jesus Jesus." And my (entirely, dedicatedly!) Christian family pronounced this wearily, "Jesus, JESUS, Jesus!" And that looks to me like the sentiment this Jesus is experiencing.
