The Wienhausen Effigy of Christ (or Grabeschristus) is a 15th century religious artwork from the Wienhausen Cloister in northern Germany. This book explains the effigy's origins, usage, and overall history. Breaking through the relative mystery surrounding this unique artwork demonstrates how its position in the Cloister as a liturgical object, reliquary, pilgrimage site, meditational tool, and subject of intense religious performance and mysticism is both common for the time and highly unusual.
