In depictions of the crucifixion in Christian art, an angel is sometimes portrayed holding a sponge. This representation is derived from biblical accounts of the crucifixion, specifically in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The sponge is soaked in vinegar or sour wine and offered to Jesus while he is on the cross.
In Christianity, angels statues hold profound symbolic significance, embodying messengers of God and celestial beings that serve as intermediaries between the divine and humanity. These ethereal sculptures often depict angels with wings, reflecting their heavenly nature as described in various biblical passages.
