Stations of the Cross - Calvary Hill and Notre Dame de la Salette
The Stations of the Cross, also called The Way of the Cross, is a devotion to the passion of Christ consisting of prayers and meditations on l4 occurrences that were experienced by Christ on His way to the crucifixion.
We climbed the hill (Calvary Hill) behind the church in St. Anne's, past the 14 stations to reach the shrine at the top.
To the best of our knowledge the statues housed in the shrine are of Notre Dame de la Salette (placed originally in l871; replaced 1987) and 2 young shepherds - Maximin and Melanie.
