Via Dolorosa – Station Ten

Jesus is stripped

The artist for this station was Rabindra Kaur Singh who is from the Sikh tradition. The painting was produced by Rabindra and her twin sister Amrit, who was the artist for Station One; together they wrote and read the poem that accompanies the station. It describes the massacre of Sikhs at the temple in Amritsar in 1984.

“The soldiers dressed Him in puple, and plaiting a crown of thorns, placed it on His head. They beat Him … spat upon Him and paid mock homage to Him … they stripped Him of the purple and dressed Him in His own clothes.”           Mark 15.17-20
