Looking at the examples of passion of Christ in art until XII century very often we can see the same compositions as in the early Christian art. The number or sequence of scenes always is different and it is difficult to find the source of such a situation. Usually it is Italy from which désignés came to the whole Europa but sometimes it is England from where the type of picture moved to the south of continent (Christ kneeling on both knees during the washing apostles feet). Still Christ is not showed as suffering but a king which came down from Heaven to save the menkind. It is Simon from Cyrene which carryes the cross in front of Jesus on the way to Calvary.
