Emmerich Stations of the Cross Handcrafted Outdoor Shrine (Set of 14)

Please contact us for discounted pricing if the Stations of the Cross are for a church, school, or religious organization.

The Emmerich Stations of the Cross set is named after Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich, the German nun and mystic who wrote the highly influential meditation The Dolorous Passion of Our Lord Jesus Christ.  This set of stations was painted in the German style by an unknown artist in the late 19^th century.  Recognizable for its illuminated golden halos around the heads of Christ and His followers, as well as for the rich contrast and shadowing throughout the set, the Emmerich Stations of the Cross convey the beauty and sacrifice of Jesus’ Passion with a blend of modern and traditional styles.

These Stations of the Cross Shrines are available in three sizes, each image plate is assembled by hand at our shop in Steubenville, Ohio. The plates are comprised of a semi-gloss vinyl print mounted on ACM, a material commonly used in the small business world for outdoor signage because of its durability and low cost. By using ACM in devotional shrines and prayer walks, we consider this common form of outdoor signage to be baptized with a renewed purpose and character.

ACM plates are UV-resistant, guaranteed for 3-5 years of perfect image fidelity with minimal fading. For devotees who live above the 40th parallel, or who are able to face their stations to the North or South, many more years of perfect image fidelity are possible! Nonetheless, all things in this world will fade with time, and even the ideal conditions of minimal sunlight will eventually result in fading, even if this is decades down the road.

These shrines are made of HDPE, the same kind of Poly Wood that outdoor decking and furniture is made of. It is made of recycled plastics and can be recycled again if the need ever arises. The material is waterproof, colorfast, bug proof, durable, resistant to cracking and splitting, won’t rot, and requires far less maintenance than real wood. They are assembled with stainless steel fasteners which won’t rust or stain.

The Shrine holding the 4×6 image is 9″ wide by 11″ tall. The 6×9 is 10″ wide by 15″ tall, and the 8×12 image is 13.5″ wide by 19.5″ tall. The Shrines have a 2.5″ to 3.5″ overhang to help protect the image. We also have just the aluminum image plates available separately if you wish to build your own style shrine! This set of 14 Stations provides a great source of meditation upon the Passion of Christ and are the perfect addition to the Lenten season.

These Stations of the Cross Shrines come with a keyhole slot in the back to be hung up. Or you can mount them to stakes and stick them in the ground. We sell a set of stakes that come with screws to make assembly easier, contact us for a quote!
