Menorah
Today, 9 August, is the feast of St Teresa Benedicta of the Cross. Known as Edith Stein before she became a Carmelite nun, today’s saint was a Jewess and philosopher, who converted to Christianity, and was killed by the Nazis in Auschwitz because of her Jewish heritage.
Robert Wagner’s powerful image, Menorah is a fitting image for today’s feast day. With his talent for placing Biblical scenes in modern landscapes, Wagner’s painting (completed in 1993) evokes the cremetoria chimneys of Auschwitz, the Jewish menorah, and the sacrifice of Christ – himself a Jew – for and with his people. As St Teresa Benedicta said: “I understood the cross as the destiny of God’s people”.
In the catalogue for a 2010 exhibition of Wagner’s work in the Ashmolean Museum, Christopher Miller wrote: “The Jewish Christians at the foot of the cross lament the loss of all their hope; the intervention of God in their lives is apparently annihilated in Christ’s death. The smoke that the Jews watch sweeping up into the clouds evokes the ashes carried by the wind over the bleak Polish plains. And a parallel is established. We are in the presence of the cross, but the six cooling towers and the central chimney make up the seven branches of the menorah, the ritual candlestick which defines the holiness of the Jewish holy place and thus marks the presence of God. For Jews and Christians alike, the face of desolation wears another aspect, that of the presence and providence of God.”

The sarcophagus with the mummy of Aset-iri-khet-es, on the permanent exhibition “The Gods of Ancient Egypt” in the Archaeological Museum in Kraków. It was found during the excavations in el-Gamhud, performed during 1907-1908 by Tadeusz Smoleński, the first Polish Egyptologist and expert in Coptic language.
The sarcophagus, which dates back to the Ptolemaic period, belongs to the priestess of Isis, by the name of Aset-iri-khet-es. Her mummy was encased in precious cartonage, which was severely damaged by the ancient tomb robbers. Presently, after the conservation work, the cartonage has been placed in a separate showcase.
Aset-iri-khet-es, potentially coming from the area of Abydos or Asuan, was by no means big, as one might conclude by looking at the coffin. However, according to the investigation, she was was only 152 cm (about 5 feet) tall. The belly-type of the antropoidal sarcophagus is characterised by a shallow bottom and a magnificent convex lid. The head of the deceased is covered with a blue wig and on her breasts we can see an ornamental necklace crowned with falcon heads. On the back side of the bottom of the sarcophagus visible thanks to the abovementioned mirror, one can see an exceptionally well-preserved figure of Isida-Hathor.
