THE DEATH OF THE THREE (3) POPES

There is something deeply moving—almost poetic—about the passing of these three shepherds of the Church. Each of them returned to the Lord within sacred seasons of the liturgical calendar, moments when the Church contemplates the greatest mysteries of faith: life, death, and resurrection.

• Pope John Paul II
Died within the Octave of Easter 2005
(April 2, 2005 — Saturday of the Easter Octave)
His passing came as the Church rejoiced in the Resurrection—a fitting farewell for a Pope who tirelessly proclaimed, “Do not be afraid.” Even in death, he pointed the world to the Risen Christ.

• Pope Benedict XVI
Died within the Octave of Christmas 2022
(December 31, 2022 — 7th day of the Christmas Octave)
He departed during the celebration of the Word made Flesh. A theologian to the end, his life and death reflected a quiet surrender to the God he spent his life studying and serving.

• Pope Francis
Died within the Octave of Easter 2025
(April 21, 2025 — Monday of the Easter Octave)
A shepherd of mercy, he returned to God in the light of Easter—a powerful reminder that compassion, humility, and love endure beyond death.

Three Popes. Three sacred seasons. One enduring message:
In Christ, death is never the end—but the doorway to eternal life.

Happy birthday Rev Fr Isaac Aondoseer Mchia Jato, charger of Wukari Diocese.
May you live long and prosper in All Areas of life.

Have you ever noticed that in many depictions of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, He is shown wearing a simple cloth around His waist and wondered what it really means? This detail is not clearly explained in one single Gospel passage, but it has deep roots in history, tradition, and the Church’s understanding of reverence, modesty, and suffer!ng.

First, the cloth on Jesus’ waist is a traditional garment used in crucifixion scenes.
In Roman practice, those being crucified were often stripped of their clothing. However, Christian tradition and sacred art developed the use of a simple linen cloth, called a perizoma or loincloth, to preserve modesty in representing the Lord’s Passion. This is why most crucifix images today show Jesus with a cloth around His waist, even though historical details may have varied.

It is a sign of reverence in Christian tradition.

Second, the cloth reflects the Church’s desire to present the crucifixion with dignity and respect.
From early Christian art, believers avoided overly graphic depictions of Christ’s suffer!ng. Instead, they emphasized His sacrif!ce, love, and victory over s!n. The cloth helps focus attention not on physical exposure, but on the spiritual meaning of the Cross, love given completely for humanity.

It is a sign of sacred dignity.

Third, the image reminds believers of the humility and total self-giving of Christ.
On the Cross, Jesus gave everything, His comfort, His strength, and His life, for the salvation of the world. The simple cloth becomes a symbol of His humility and complete surrender. It quietly points to the truth that the Son of God entered human suffer!ng fully and willingly.

The Good News Bible expresses this love clearly:
“He loved us and gave himself for us.” - Galatians 2:20 (GNB)

In the end, the cloth on Jesus’ waist is not a detail of comfort, but a symbol shaped by faith and tradition. It helps the Church reflect on the mystery of the Cross with reverence, dignity, and love.

It reminds us that even in His suffer!ng, Christ is shown with dignity, because His sacrif!ce is not only pa!n, but perfect love offered for the world.

Now you know.
