Stations of the Cross on Monserrate

Walking the Stations of the Cross on Monserrate

This may be my favorite Stations of the Cross that I have seen, given the combination of the quality of the statuary and the incredibly beautiful physical setting. I do have a bias in favor of outdoor stations.

Given that I am a hardcore Catholic, I take my Stations of the Cross seriously. That means I will forgo the snarky commentary and just mention which station is in which picture.
