"Illustrated devotional book by African American artist, Allan Crite (1910-2007) of Boston, visually depicting the verses of the African American spiritual, 'Were You There When They Crucified My Lord.' Thirty-nine full-page illustrations show Biblical scenes of Christ's passion, death, resurrection, and ascension including several scenes from the Christian Liturgy of the Eucharist paralleling those events. A devout Episcopalian, Crite's pen and ink technique of black and white illustration in Were You There When They Crucified My Lord allows for each figure--Christ, the priest, and accompanying disciples and angels--to appear to have Black features." -- Bookseller's description.
