Soldier-With-Flower (Excerpt from the novel)

Summary/Abstract: The Calvary is opposite Tuk Hill, on the far bank of the river, a white, terraced chapel that is opened only for the Resurrection but otherwise kept locked the whole year round, and fourteen columns of white stone next to the bridge that leads to the chapel. Into every column is set a large picture depicting the tormenting and crucifixion of Jesus Christ. On the terrace behind the chapel, which can be reached via broad steps, stand three crosses with the Saviour and the two malefactors. The figure of the Saviour is made of bronze, those of the malefactors are of white stone. Over time, the bronze statue had become a deep green, with the Saviour appearing almost black between the two malefactors of white stone.
