Framed Print of Saint Hedwig Leaving Bloody Footprints in the Snow: The Self-Flagellation of Saint Hedwig, 1353. Creator: Unknown
Saint Hedwig Leaving Bloody Footprints in the Snow: The Self-Flagellation of Saint Hedwig; Vita beatae Hedwigis, 1353.
Additional Info: Even in the depths of winter, Saint Hedwig insisted on showing her humility by walking to church in her bare feet. In the upper portion of this miniature, a servant woman points in horror to the bloody footprints left behind her in the snow. Below, the saint inflicts wounds on her own back, and then she appears again, clenching her fists in anticipation of the blows. In this way, Hedwig sought to prove her willingness to suffer pain for her faith. Self-inflicted pain was seen in the Middle Ages as a voluntary form of penance, a way of understanding and participating in the Passion of Christ.
