This drawing, commissioned by an American archdiocese, depicts the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ with four holy men who were active at some time in the United States. Blessed Solanus Casey, a Capuchin friar known as a healer and worker of miracles, holds the violin that he loved to play. Venerable Frederic Baraga, a Slovenian-born bishop and missionary to Native Americans, holds an Ojibway snowshoe; Baraga was known as the snowshoe priest for traveling great distances on snowshoe during his ministry. Blessed James Miller, a Brother of the Christian Schools who was assassinated in Guatemala, holds a wrench; he was an excellent handyman. Venerable Fulton Sheen holds a piece of chalk, which he used to write on a blackboard in his well-known television programs.
The surrounding decoration, in a frame of Gothic tracery, includes frogs, lakeweed, creeper vines, and stars.
