THE STATIONS OF THE CROSS: YESTERDAY AND TODAY

You are invited to experience all 14 stations on Friday, August 14th from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, and Saturday, August 15th from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM. Additional viewing times are available on Sunday afternoons and by appointment.

The Stations of the Cross are a 14-step journey through the final hours of Jesus’s life—a story historically rooted in an ordinary person walking toward state execution. Retold through a modern, human lens, this exhibition reveals the enduring struggle between the power of human connection and the weight of institutional control.

THE STRUGGLE

Two thousand years ago, an empire felt threatened by a man who held no office, commanded no army, and accumulated no wealth. As a Jewish man living under Roman occupation, Jesus taught a radical, everyday love centered on community, truth, and the sacred dignity of every person.

He was not a threat because of physical strength, but because his values asked people to care for "the least of these," to welcome the stranger, and to place moral integrity above the self-serving rules of the state. When institutions try to silence the messenger to suppress the message, they often forget a basic truth: you cannot bury what is light.

HISTORY REPEATING

We see this ancient tension alive in our news today.

We see it in Station 14, where the hidden darkness of the Epstein files and institutional stonewalling reveal how power shields itself from accountability while ignoring the voices of survivors.

We see it in Station 4, where original artwork by children from Gaza lays bare the heartbreaking cost of war and human suffering. This display is not about geopolitical sides, governments, or dogmas; it is a quiet, devastating testament to the innocence of children caught in catastrophic destruction, reminding us that no violence can erase human dignity.

We see it in our own streets when systems remove vulnerable neighbors, divide communities, or erode fundamental rights. This exhibit is an invitation to reclaim faith, art, and conscience as tools for empathy—refusing to let truth be weaponized or hidden.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR

As you walk through these 14 stations, you will witness a constant dialogue: beauty beside pain, institutional power beside individual vulnerability, what is and what ought to be.

Look closely at the fragile pieces of modern law, the hidden corners of authority, and the resilient strength of everyday people. This is more than a story about execution; it is about the quiet courage to stay standing, to demand truth, and to remember that the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness does not overcome it.
