The Stations of the Cross, page 4
| Station 8 is an illustration of Christ's unwavering
ability to see the suffering of others outside himself, as this
Station depicts Jesus consoling a mourning woman as he passes her. |
|
|
|
| The 9th Station is the third instance of Christ
falling under the weight of the cross. |
|
| At the tenth Station Christ was stripped and the
depiction here is of his hands holding the rope given to the
condemned for support as their clothes were torn off. |
