Via Dolorosa – Station Eleven

Jesus is nailed to the cross

The artist for this station is David Sparrow of the Christian tradition. The narrative refers to the day when a devastating allied bombing raid destroyed most of the town of Pforzheim; in just 20 minutes, more than 18,000 people died. The accompanying music is Dies Irae from Requiem 23-02-1945 by Rolf Schweitzer: © Rolf Schweizer 1995. Photographs of the 1945 raid © Stadtarchiv Pforzheim.

“They brought Him to the place called Golgotha … then they fastened Him to the cross.” Mark 15.22,23
