The most common appearance the seven deadly sins make in late medieval Good Friday sermons is in a series of juxtapositions in which each deadly sin is paired with one of the torments Christ suffered during the Passion. Although there is a well established tradition for what constitutes the seven deadly sins, the torments are conceived in different ways. They can be presented as generalized forms of suffering acting as inversions of the sins: Christ’s humbling set against pride, his nakedness and indigence against avarice, etc. Or the torments can be described as the times Christ shed his blood, blood sheddings that cleanse each of the deadly sins. Or, and perhaps most popularly, the tormentsare comprised of individual wounds – the crown of thorns, the lance in the side, each nail that pierces his hands and feet. In each type, the torments are presented as logical counterparts to the sins with which they are paired, but that logic varies. Sometimes Christ’s suffering embodies the sin’s contrary virtue, as when he suffers humiliation as a way to conquer pride. And sometimes he suffers the sin’s contrapasso. Gluttony, for example, is often paired with Christ’s tasting of vinegar and gall while he was on the cross.
