The Deposition of Christ / Artist: Ludwig Oppenheimer / Location: St Boniface’s, Tooting / “All the acquaintances of Jesus, including the women who had followed him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things. Now there was a good and righteous man named Joseph, who, though a member of the council, had not agreed to their plan and action. He came from the Jewish town of Arimathea, and he was waiting expectantly for the kingdom of God. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then he took it down, wrapped it in a linen cloth, and laid it in a rock-hewn tomb where no one had ever been laid. (Luke 23:49-53)

Christ carries the cross / Artist: Unknown / Location: St Ignatius, Stamford Hill / "He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. By a perversion of justice he was taken away. Who could have imagined his future? For he was cut off from the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people.” (Isaiah 53:7-8)

The Passion of Christ / Artist: Unknown / Location: St Mary Magdalene, Bexhill / "For the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:45)

The Crucifixion / Artist: Ion Pace / Location: Our Lady of Dolours, Kensington / "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? All who see me deride me. They curl their lips, they toss their heads. ‘He trusted in the Lord, let him save him; let him release him if this is his friend.’ Many dogs have surrounded me, a band of the wicked beset me. They tear holes in my hands and my feet. I can count every one of my bones. They divide my clothing among them. They cast lots for my robe. O Lord, do not leave me alone, my strength, make haste to help me!” (Psalm 22:1-20)

Simon of Cyrene helps Christ / Artist: Ludwig Oppenheimer / Location: St Boniface, Tooting / "As they led him away, they seized a man, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming from the country, and they laid the cross on him, and made him carry it behind Jesus.” (Luke 23:26) /

Christ is condemned to death by Pilate / Artist: Unknown / Location: Church of the Holy Name, Manchester / “Pilate brought Jesus outside and sat on the judge’s bench at a place called The Stone Pavement, or in Hebrew Gabbatha. Now it was the day of Preparation for the Passover; and it was about noon. He said to the Jews, “Here is your King!” They cried out, “Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!” Pilate asked them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king but the emperor.” Then he handed him over to them to be crucified.” (John 19:13-16)
