Pieta, Piety, Pity

I think these three words derive from the same etymology.
Pieta is a painting or sculpture of Virgin Mary holding her dead son Jesus with lamentation. Piety is a religious devotion in short. Pity means compassionate, etc. Then altogether means the crusification of Jesus was his devotion to mankind for compensation of sin humans made. Christians are people who not only feel conpassionate to Jesus, but also willing to show his example in them. They feel satisfied when they had sufferings similar to those of which Jesus had. Sometimes it's pleasure for them to be suffered.
It's nearly hard to understand their feelings, though, some people certainly have such distinguished tendencies.
