| Object history | Wounded soldiers are offered crosses by Christ, Rasputin and the Czarina. In the left hand text below, Christ addresses the Czarina and Rasputin as `righteous people' quoting the bible: Luke 6, 36 and Matthew 5, 16: "Be ye also merciful as your Father is merciful" and "So let your light shine before men so that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in Heaven". In the right hand text is a criticism of the teaching and practice of Christian charity and doing good, as being one of the most hypocritical aspects of Christianity "It tries to cover up gaping ulcers of class differences with worthless gifts and alms".
