Biar ada bayangan sekaya apa skalanya, ini perbandingan tinggi GWK dibanding patung-patung ikonik dunia lainnya. Liberty langsung kelihatan mungil wkwk.
Budayawan Butet Kartaredjasa menyerahkan lukisan Jalan Salib kepada Paus Leo XIV di kompleks Basilika Santo Petrus, Vatikan, Rabu (17/6/2026).
Karya yang dipersiapkan sekitar enam bulan itu menghadirkan kisah Jalan Salib melalui tokoh-tokoh Punakawan khas budaya Jawa.
"Saya menafsir satu peristiwa ikonik tentang perjuangan kemanusiaan, peristiwa Jalan Salib itu. Saya memvisualkan dengan menggunakan idiom tradisional Jawa yang memakai tokoh-tokoh Punakawan sebagai pewarta pesan-pesan filsafat," ujar Butet kepada https://t.co/DgEZMaei1Y, Kamis (18/6/2026).
Menurut Butet, Paus Leo XIV menyambut baik karya tersebut.
"Dia sangat senang. Dia tidak pernah melihat ada pemikiran seperti itu. Ada orang dari belahan negara lain bisa melakukan tafsir seperti itu," kata Butet.
Ia juga menegaskan bahwa pesan yang dibawa dalam lukisannya tidak hanya ditujukan untuk umat Katolik, tetapi dapat dimaknai lintas iman.

The month of June is dedicated to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ. The Solemnity of the Sacred Heart is celebrated this year on June 12.
Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus originated from Christ Himself, as His heart was pierced during the crucifixion. The Preface for the Mass of the Sacred Heart proclaims, “He poured out blood and water from His pierced side, the wellspring of the Church’s Sacraments.” With that particular focus on His suffering heart, later saints such as St. Lutgarde, a Cistercian, d. 1246; St. Matilda, a Benedictine, d. 1298; and St. Gertrude, a Benedictine, d. 1302, each contributed to furthering the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
However, it was St. Margaret Mary Alacoque who is principally responsible for spreading our modern-day devotion. Over a period of 18 months, from 1673 to 1675, Our Lord appeared to her and requested that He be honored under the image of His Sacred Heart. How were people to show honor to His heart? First, by consecrating themselves to His heart, followed by acts of reparation, little sacrifices (similar to the request at Fatima), and then a devotion to His human, wounded, Sacred Heart through the practice of the First Friday devotion (receiving Holy Communion, Confession, and spending an hour before the Blessed Sacrament), and praying the Litany of the Sacred Heart.
Our Lord made 12 promises to those who fulfill the First Friday devotion. These promises include graces, peace, consolation from troubles, blessings, mercy, growth in faith, and an increase in holiness. Of particular importance is that those “who propagate this devotion shall have their names eternally written in my heart.” In addition, those who receive Communion on the first Fridays, for nine consecutive months will have the grace of final repentance: they will not die without receiving the sacraments. And, the 10th promise is directed toward priests: “I will give to priests the power to touch the most hardened hearts.”
So, what about you and your home or apartment? Is there an image of the Sacred Heart prominently displayed? Does the Heart of Christ reign in your family? Will you offer it reverence with a special place, or pray the Litany of the Sacred Heart during the month of June?
The novena to the Sacred Heart will begin on June 3. The novena prayer will be posted daily.
