          |  | The fourth Station of the cross depicts the meeting
            of Jesus and Mary on the road to Calvary. |  |  
      | 
          |  | In the fifth Station, Christ's death was given
            further meaning as a man named Simon helped Jesus carry the
            cross.  Historically the reason for Simon of Cyrene aiding
            Christ goes unknown, though compassion can be hoped for. |  |  |
