This is one of the few pieces of carved wood that survived from the middle ages. In 970, Archbishop Gero of Cologne commissioned this piece for his cathedral. The Christ figure is life size and he is made of gilded oak that was it has been an icon of spiritual energy. Some artworks do center the spirit of the worshiper within the center of Divinity. It has a relic of the Eucharistic body of Jesus
