Jesus Christ Carries Cross Statue

This carved olive wood statue depicting a tortured Jesus is representative of the fourteen Stations of the Cross He walked, on the day of His crucifixion.

Dragging the cross down Via Dolorosa, in the Old City of Jerusalem, Jesus stops at various Stations where He meets his Mother, where Veronica wipes His face with her veil, and where He falls.

Carved from Bethlehem olive wood this ethereal statue has become a symbol of the Christian pilgrimage. This handicraft signifies an episode included in all four Gospels also known as Way of the Cross or Via Crucis in Latin.
