Stations of the Cross
Traditionally, there are 14 Stations of the Cross, each representing a different moment in Jesus’ Passion and Death.
The E. Hackner Co. created a variety of indoor and outdoor stations of the cross. Outdoor stations featured bronze reliefs mounted in stone or granite. Indoor stations were made from a variety of materials: bronze, marble, and wood. They also produced oil paintings on canvas, zinc, and copper with carved wooden frames and mosaic stations.
