Job
Job is an example of enduring suffering. The Book of Job is one of the oldest in the Bible, and he is also one of the prophets of Islam. According to the Book of Job, God gave Satan free reign to cause Job to suffer. Job lost all of his ten children and all his possessions, after which he fell ill and developed festering boils all over his body. However, Job did not give up his faith. This sculpture is from the Helsinki Parish Church. It was made in Northern Germany or Northern Poland in the early 16th century.

Covered in boils, Job is sitting on a mound of earth with his legs crossed, leaning on his left hand.
