✙ 14th Station of the Cross: Christ is buried
The 14th station pictures the burial of Christ in the garden tomb of St Joseph of Arimathaea. The faithful few wrapped his body in a linen shroud and sealed him in the tomb.
The Deposition of Christ (Mark 15:42-47)
The taking down of Christ’s dead body from the cross is traditionally known in art as the ‘Deposition of Christ', the ‘Descent from the Cross’ or the ‘Lamentation of Christ’.
