Presented here are images of striking metal and glass artworks from St Joseph’s Church in Derry, Ireland, depicting the 14 stations of the cross. The final two images are of the Last Supper which precedes the first station and the Risen Christ.

The stations are usually visited in sequence during Fridays over the period of Lent, especially on Good Friday, and prayers are often said at each station.
