Note 145 — Chapter VI · —The “Via Dolorosa” at Jerusalem from the Seventeenth Century to the Present Day
Reading edition
One consists of diamond-shaped stones—the series unfortunately is incomplete—erected originally in the garden. The tablets which survive bear the following numbers and inscriptions: (3) Our Lord before Caiphas; (5) Our Lord going to Herod; (7) Our Lord carrying His cross; (8) Our Lord’s first fall; (9) Our Lord meeting with His Blessed Mother; (10) Simon helps to carry our Lord’s cross; (11) Fall of our Lord; (15) Our Lord’s nailing to the cross; (16) Our Lord hanging on the cross. The other set are a series of pictures. They seem to have been painted in Rome for Lady Carrington and to have been sent by her to Lady Lucy Herbert, who was the Reverend Mother Prioress at Bruges in the first half of the eighteenth century. The subjects are the following: (1) The Last Supper; (2) The Agony in the Garden; (3) The Apprehension; (4) CHRIST before Caiphas; (5) Christ before Pilate; (6) The Ecce Homo; (7) The Scourging; (8) The Crowning with Thorns; (9) Veronica; (10) The Taking Down from the Cross; (11) The Burial; (12) The Resurrection.
