Abstract
Description
Along the walls at floor level, the Stations of the Cross, fourteen scenes from Jesus' Passion and Death, occupy marble shrines, in a sequence starting on the east wall (right side as you face the altar), front to back, and west wall back to front. Between the stations are the confessionals, where penitents experience Christ's redemptive love in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Confessing their sins, they receive God's forgiveness mediated through the Church, expressed by a priest. Incorporated into the woodwork are hand-carved oaken figures of saints who preached about Christ and his mercy. Symbols above represent the apostles.
