I really hope I don’t offend anyone with this week’s Sinful Sunday competition entry; I have taken Molly’s brief of ‘triptych’ very literally and nodded, perhaps more than a little blasphemously, towards its religious roots.

  • Picture one: The Flagellation 
  • Picture two: The Crucifixion
  • Picture three: The Benediction
