The Arma Christi [General discussion]
#61
From Andrea Denny-Brown's book, p.263:
"As demonstrated by James Marrow, the appearance of incidents of the pulling of Christ's hair and beard in late medieval Passion literature has a rich prophetic and typological background. Marrow notes how, as early as the mid-14th century, depictions of hands tugging at Christ's hair or beard appear among the Arma Christi set. While O Dalaigh refers not specifically to hair pulling but to hair shearing (perhaps evoking the passage in Isaiah53:7 where he refers to the suffering servant being led as a lamb before its shearer). Furthermore the 15th or early 16th Man of Sorrows in the Franciscan friary, Ennis, County Clare, includes among the other Arma Christi surrounding Christ, a hand clutching a tuft of hair."
