For catholics, there are two types of stations: traditional \u2013\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [1] Jesus is condemned to die [2] Jesus is given the cross [3] Jesus falls the \ufb01rst time [4] Jesus meets his mother [5] Simon of Cyrene carries the cross [6] Veronica wipes the face of Jesus [7] Jesus falls the second time [8] Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem [9] Jesus falls the third time [10] Jesus is stripped of his garments [11] Jesus is nailed to the cross [12] Jesus dies on the cross [13] Jesus\u2019 body is removed from the cross [14] Jesus is laid in the tomb \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u2013 and those introduced by John Paul II in 1991: scriptural \u2013\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [1] Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane (Mtt 26:36\u201341) [2] Jesus is betrayed by Judas and arrested (Mk 14: 43\u20136) [3] Jesus is condemned by the sanhedrin (Lk 22: 66\u201371) [4] Jesus is denied by St Peter (Mtt 26: 69\u201375) [5] Jesus is judged by Pontius Pilate (Mk 15: 1\u20135, 15) [6] Jesus is scourged at the pillar and crowned with thorns (Jn 19: 1\u20133) [7] Jesus bears the cross (Jn 19: 6, 15\u201317) [8] Jesus is helped by Simon the Cyrenian to carry the cross (Mk 15: 21) [9] Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem (Lk 23: 27\u201331) [10] Jesus is cruci\ufb01ed (Lk 23: 33\u20134) [11] Jesus promises his kingdom to the good thief (Lk 23: 39\u201343) [12] Jesus speaks to his mother and the beloved disciple (Jn 19: 25\u20137) [13] Jesus dies on the cross (Lk 23: 44\u20136) [14] Jesus is laid in the tomb (Mtt 27: 57\u201360) \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u2013 and only some of these align. This is one of those.<\/p>\n As direct visual inspiration are the sixteenth century gospel harmonies of Nicholas Ferrar\u2019s family at Little Gidding in Cambridgeshire near where I live. They would study existing bibles, make parallels (like I used to study in seminary years ago), then using \u2018cut-and-paste\u2019, construct a single account, or \u2018harmony\u2019.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The use of four different typefaces to represent the evangelists has parallels in the use by early printers of different typefaces to represent different languages, or different kinds of text.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The images are my own.<\/p>\n The translations are all from The new Jerusalem bible (London, Darton, Longman & Todd 1985), and the synoptic gospel parallels are from Burton H Throckmorton (ed.) Gospel parallels (Nashville & New York, Nelson 1967); the \u2018harmony\u2019 is mine.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
