Two wooden works are ready to leave the Cathedral: one is the Kiss of Judas

It is a wooden sculpture dating from 1926, the work of artist Giuseppe Runggaldier of Ortisei.

Preserved in the church of Santa Lucia, is carried on the shoulders of 16 bearers per stage (pose). There are representatives of Jesus with an astonished, almost absent expression at the moment he receives the kiss from Judas Iscariot placed to his right. To the left of Christ stand two figures of soldiers, the first holding a lantern in the act of illuminating his face and the second with an arm raised in the gesture of grasping him. The style of the work is markedly different from almost all the others especially in the carving of the wood, which remains very pronounced as if to emphasize the tension and tragic nature of the moment. The work underwent cleaning work in 1996.

The Coronation of Thorns of the Confraternity of Sts. Augustine and Monica kept at the Church of St. Lucy is the seventh of fifteen “chests” that are carried on the shoulders.

It is a wooden sculpture from 1710 attributed with some certainty to Anton Maria Maragliano. Preserved in the church of Santa Lucia, it is carried on the shoulders of 12 pallbearers. At the center of the scene is the figure of Jesus seated and bound. The soldier on his left imprints the crown of thorns on his head, sneering, while the one on the right places one hand on Christ’s neck and simultaneously with the other prepares to lash him with his fist. The work, of great expressiveness and tragicity also emphasized by the strong colors, was restored in 1996.
