What does a bleeding heart tattoo symbollize?

The Sacred Heart is a religious devotion to Jesus' physical heart as the representation of the divine love for humanity. I have a sacred (or "eternal flame") heart tattoo...I got it to symbolize that my feelings for the person I got it for and the memories I have of them are important and never ending (that person is deceased). I'm not sure of the typical definition of the sacred heart tattoo, but I know that whenever I look at mine it symbolizes a person and time in my life that I hold sacred. The Sacred Heart is from Christian Origins.The Heart represents the heart of christ, and his love for the worldwhile the crown of thorns represents...well..the crown of thorns... digging into the heart, which is usually bleeding, to represent the pain and suffering Christ felt.The Cross on top of the heart is the crucifix on which Christ died, and the fire behind the cross usually coming up from the heart, is to represent the fire on the threshing floor...to burn everything away and start newfrom Matthew"He will make a thorough clearance of His threshing-floor, gathering His wheat into the storehouse, but burning up the chaff in unquenchable fire"


How many trials did Jesus have and how long did each last?

Mark's Gospel, followed by Matthew and Luke, says that the betrayal and arrest of Jesus occurred at the darkest hour - midnight. Jesus was led away for a trial before the high priest and other senior priests and elders at 3am in the morning. Jesus was then led away for a second trial by Pontius Pilate "when it was morning', at 6am. Mark says that it was "the third hour" - 9 am - when they crucified him. So, there were two trials and each trial must have taken something less than three hours.Notwithstanding that, it was the practice in compliance with the Torah not to sit in judgement except in the light of day. John's Gospel resolves this problem by not having a formal trial by the Sanhedrin, simply having Jesus brought first to Annas, then to Caiaphas, before being taken to Pontius Pilate. So, John's Gospel has only one trial of Jesus.
