STATIONS OF THE CROSS: Station 11: Veronica

Psalms 27:8-9

You have said, "Seek my face."

My heart says to You, "Your face, Lord, do I seek."

Hide not Your face from me.

Turn not Your servant away in anger, You who have

been my help. Cast me not off, forsake me not, O God of my salvation.

I took all of these photos during my daily meditation pilgrimages in various countries around the world. Most of them are a part of a series of stations, some are independent pieces, but all are unique and remarkable works of art. In most cases, the artist is not even attributed. The standard Catholic Stations of the Cross meditation consists of 14 stations, sometimes 15. However, in the course of my pilgrimage, I have discovered that there are several versions of the Stations of the Cross. I have compiled all of the stations that are included in every version I have encountered, which total 23 stations.

Santa Julia Church altar, Austin, Texas, U.S.A. Artist: Jose Aznar* MAP (*The community of parishioners at Santa Julia Church are in search of the artist who created the magnificent Stations of the Cross series and other works that adorn their sanctuary. Some of the parishioners remember Jose Aznar as the Spanish priest who visited their community in the mid-1960’s while they were still in grade school, and produced these works of art before their very eyes as young pupils, leaving a lasting memory.)
