The breath-taking record of the Stations of the Cross sculpted be Maria de Faykod which were commissioned by the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes, is truly a feast for the eyes and the heart.
Each Station is a monumental work of art in itself. This book presents several high quality black and white photographs of each work which bring out the detail and beauty of each piece, highlighted by the crystals of the pure white Carrara marble.
A meditation on each Station by the artist herself in English and French accompanies the photographs.
“From one Station to the next, the sculptures of Maria de Faykod’s Way of the Cross help us clear our minds of so many obsessive images which crowd them, and open open our penitent hearts to the redeeming grace of the Lord.”
Preface by Paul Cardinal Poupard
Emeritus President of the Pontifical Council for Culture
and of the Pontifical Council for Inter-Religious Dialogue.
