Biblical commentary

One of four reliefs from a set of Stations of the Cross.

The Stations of the Cross (or the ‘Way of the Cross’ or ‘Via Dolorosa’) are the places where Jesus is believed to have halted on his way from Pilate’s House to his crucifixion. In the late Middle Ages, the devotion of the ‘Way of the Cross’ was introduced - a series of stopping places for meditation or homilies, each marked by a different image.
