The Good Thief on the Cross - ܓܝܣܐ ܕܡܢ ܝܡܝܢܐ
http://syriaca.org/person/1851
The Good Thief on the
Cross is a name given in the Gospel of Luke to
the thief who was crucified, according to tradition, at the right hand of
Christ. In
Luke's account the thief repents and is promised
entrance into paradise. This thief and his literary foil (the
unrepentant thief at Christ's left) were fruitful inspiration
for many Syriac authors and poets.1
