Крестоночь/Ключесвет
In 1577, the Spanish priest Juan de la Cruz was placed in prison, where he was held in harsh conditions and tortured. In the spiritual state of God-forsakenness, Juan achieved insight - a feeling of unity with the Crucified. Experiencing the test of the Cross, he composed stanzas about the "dark night", into the darkness of which the soul seeking God plunges. The images of the mask and the key are an addition to the mystical and poetic insight of the Spanish saint. The second night must be followed by a third, but it is unspeakable and unimaginable.
