content: This colored print depicts Saint Thomas putting his finger in the wound on Christ's side. Seven of the apostles look on in astonishment and joy. According to John (20:24 - 29), Thomas was not present when Christ first appeared before the apostles after his resurrection, and he refused to believe their account. Only when Christ appeared a second time and urged Thomas to touch his wounds, did the disciple profess his belief in Christ’s divinity. In response, Christ said: “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” This theme has inspired many paintings in the Western art, as well as countless sermons.
