40 Hours Devotion (Cave Christ)

by grace saint

“40 Hours Devotion (Cave Christ) was  a solitary performance documented  with photograms & frottage. 40  Hours Devotion, or Quarantore, is  a Roman Catholic liturgical action  in which continuous prayer is made  for forty hours before the Blessed  Sacrament. The number of hours  principally refers to the time that  Christ’s Body remained in the tomb  thus it was originally practiced as  part of the Paschal Triduum in the  12th Century. Consequently whilst  Christ’s body lay entombed I moved  into the cave under my flat.”
