Erect the stations along your garden path or hang them indoors. The Stations of the Cross have a deep rooted history in the Church. Many believe that various forms of the Stations of the Cross date back to the very beginning of the Church. It has been said by pious tradition that the devotion was said in its early form by our Blessed Mother while she lived and was protected by the beloved Apostle John. Many great saints have had a particular devotion to the Stations of the Cross. This devotion is richly blessed and supported by the Church. Under certain conditions plenary indulgences are attached to the devotion.

Our traditional Stations of the Cross shrines are for indoors or outdoors. You can purchase an individual station as a single shrine for a small yard or garden or purchase an entire set of fourteen stations to erect on a larger property, or for a church, church yard or retreat location. You can ask us for ideas about erecting the stations in or around your home; it will add an elegant beauty to your house. We have two sizes - 21" x 11" and 30" x 11" - to fit perfectly into your setting.

The shrines consist of our eloquently carved western red cedar housing. The carving and assembly is done in our Bloomfield, Indiana shop studio. The station art is made of durable ceramic. We have two styles to choose from. The large stations are made with two ceramic tiles and have a unique gothic roof line. The High Fired Ceramic that we use is extremely durable in bright light and sunshine. The process used for making the ceramic is unique and was developed in England. The colors are imbedded in the ceramic and are made of minerals so they cannot fade and they are meant to last for a very long time. With care and proper placement, the stations can last for many years in the outdoors.

Designed to look richly traditional, the ceramic artwork image was created from our original Italian antique station paintings. If purchasing a single station as an individual shrine, you can purchase the shrine without the inscription and station number. On our order page we offer the single station shown which is Jesus is taken down from the cross, which can be used as a Pieta shrine. You can call us for a special order of any of the stations as a single stand alone shrine.

We include a complete guide on the history of the devotion and how to gain the indulgences attached to the devotion. Our guide book also has the devotional prayers written for the Stations of the Cross composed by Saint Alphonsus Liguori. We also include information on the care and maintenance of the stations with details on ways to erect them.

So join the many saints who deeply loved this devotion to the way of the cross, an important prayer any time of the year, not just for Lent. It is a great reminder of the passion of our Lord.
