A passion image, whether an altarpiece in a church, or a devotional object in a private room could serve as a focus for private prayer. A depiction of the suffering Christ served as a reminder of the sacrifice he made for the sake of humanity and the feelings of pity, gratitude and pious remorse it inspired in the devout were intended to deepen their love of God.
