Stations of the Cross by Eric Gill at St Alban's Church

Eighth Station

Station 8: Jesus speaks to ‘the women’. John (19.26) records three women as present at the crucifixion: Jesus’ mother Mary, her sister Mary, wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene; John records Jesus as addressing only his mother, though Luke relates a speech to the ‘daughters of Jerusalem’ (Luke 23.28-31). The figure nearest Jesus is clearly his mother.
