Exhibition CROSS-ING WAY-S curated by artist Denys Shantar
The tradition of the Cross Way started as a pilgrimage destination in Jerusalem, from where it is believed to have been Pontius Pilates’ residence to the final stage of the Calvary. The depiction of Jesus on his last day on earth as a human became an essential part of most Western Catholic churches in the 19th century. Some churches add the resurrection as an unofficial 15th station.
CROSS-ING WAY-S is a very personal and intimate journey. We can decide for ourselves who we are. Are we the spectators?
The mother who sees her struggling child?
Are we Simon or Veronica who lend a helping hand?
Or are we Jesus himself?
No matter who we choose to be, we all await a resurrection; in the end we “are the salt of the earth”.
