Our Lady of ercy Church Girrawheen, has entered Lent with the dedication of an unusual variation on the Way � of the Cross. g Mazzetti was commissioned to prepare a mural that would span the themes of the Way of the Cross, and beyond, but not in the 14 traditional stations. On a wooden base covered in canvas he has painted a series of scenes that travel from the Last Supper, through Gethsemane to the capture and Cruc· ixion of Jesus, culminating in the triumph of the Lamb. As a first step, parishioners called on the help of Sister Joan Smith who outlined the history of the ay of the Cross which dates from Bologna in the fifth century, but which has f uctuated between as many as 36 stations and as few as five. Architect of the church, Iris Rossen, advised t at the sanctuary should remain the focus of t e church and that therefore the Way of the Cross shou d be in subdued tones and in a position not to distract fro t e liturgical action. It has been paced on a latera wall beneath a roundat window of the Holy Spirit, showing the [ournev of the Spirit in Jesus a d leading em actually towards the altar.
