| Description : | Originally carved in wood, the 14 Stations of the Cross were removed from the walls in 1955 and were bronzed, and gold leaf was applied to the main figures on each station. |
| Commentaires : | The 14 Stations of the Cross were originally purchased by Bishop Mullock sometime prior to 1855. The Stations were originally just carved wood, but in 1955 they were bronzed, and gold leaf was put on the main figures on each Station. |
| Fonctions : | Before the Cathedral's Consecration, the 14 Stations of the Cross would have hung above the arches that open from the ambulatories in the nave. In 1955, however, each Station was bronzed, the main figures were redone in gold leaf, and the Stations were then re-hung at a lower height, so they could be viewed easier. |
