  1. These are wonderful outside stations of the cross. I've visited other monasteries that had them but not that big or nice.

  4. Very meaningful to me, Klars. Thank you so much for showing each station for All Seasons! Have painted most the situations around Jesus' birth on 6-9 inch paintings. If you like to look sometime, they are seen on my artnotes2016 (dot) wordpress (dot) com.
