STUDENTS from a school in York have collaborated with York Minster to create a special Stations of the Cross exhibition for Holy Week.

The Stations of the Cross artwork, put together by St Peter’s School pupils, is now on display in Dean’s Park, in the grounds of York Minster.

The ceramic displays were originally created by the Year 10 pupils in February 2020, but the exhibition was cancelled due to Covid restrictions.

The Reverend Canon Michael Smith, Canon Pastor at York Minster, said: “The Stations of the Cross created by pupils at St Peter’s are both beautiful and thought provoking.

“I hope that lots of people of all ages will use them in Dean’s Park, or on our website, to reflect on some of the challenges life brings.”

Mr Jeremy Walker, head master of St Peter’s School, York, said: “I am so proud of the pupils’ excellent work.

“This is a great example of the close relationship between York Minster and St Peter’s and a sign of hope as we approach Easter.”

There are nine Stations of the Cross, starting with the moment when Jesus was condemned to death and concluding with Jesus rising from the tomb. Each Station is accompanied by an interpretation panel, including a passage from the Bible.

The first eight stations are currently on display in Dean’s Park and the ninth station, which symbolises the resurrection, will be added once the Easter Garden is in place prior to Palm Sunday on March 28.
