Chapel Via Sacra Passion of Christ

One of the Stations of the Cross (Passos da Paixao de Cristo) in Guimarães, Portugal.

Capelas Dos Passos Da Paixao De Cristo Chapel, which is part of the Via Sacra in Guimarães.

Part of the Passos ou Estações da Via Sacra- this is just one of the 5 mini chapels remaining of the 14 Stations of the Cross, depicting the history of the passion of Christ.

This set of steps or stations of the religious life of Christ, were built in 1727. However, they were transferred or dismantled, leaving only five today: Step of Largo do Carmo, Step of Rua Santa Maria, Step of Largo João Franco, the Step of Senhora da Guia and Step of Campo da Feira.

 

A Via Crucis in granite, filled with carved wooden painted figures. They are quite dusty right now…
