New “stations” erected at Medjugorje


Gone are the 14 wooden crosses that marked the Way of the Cross encircling the Risen Saviour sculpture at Medjugorje. They have been replaced with more permanent structures – stoned-faced towers, windowed with tiled images of Christ’s Crucifixion journey.

I miss the simple wooden crosses. I once read that only the wooden cross was necessary to signify a station and the icon or image was not a required feature. Perhaps a simple wooden cross will be attached to the tiled towers at a later date.
