"But he said to them, ?Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe. /.../ Jesus came and stood among them and said, ?Peace be with you!? Then he said to Thomas, ?Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.? (John 20, 25) This representation, full of motion expreses joy coming from the faith. It's also a sort of a creed.
