THE WAY OF THE CROSS

The Way of the Cross in Lourdes, France depicts the 15 stations of Christ's suffering through a meandering 2 km. pathway that has life-size, cast iron sculpted figures. This is the Twelfth station showing the Crucifixion which is located on a grassy hill that is the highest point on the route. It is absolutely moving and dramatic at the same time that one can almost hear the gnashing of teeth and wailing of the crowd below the three crosses.
