Fourteen Stations of the Cross for Church of St John on Bethnal Green, London

Stations of the Cross (VII): Jesus Falls A second Time

Stations of the Cross (X): Jesus Is Stripped Of His Garments

In 2000, Chris Gollon was commissioned to paint 14 Stations of the Cross for the Church of St John on Bethnal Green, a beautiful grade-one listed church designed by Sir John Soane and located next to the Museum of Childhood, London.

The paintings are site-specific, and vary in size.Widely featured in the national press, radio and television, this extraordinary series of paintings took Chris Gollon 8 years to complete. He took the unusual step of using his own son as the model for Jesus and his daughter as Mary. (See Commissions page for further details).

They will become both an added visitor attraction to this historic church, as well as an active aid to worship. They will be installed permanently in the Church by Good Friday 2009. For details on the Good Friday service and when the works may be viewed, please see the Exhibitions page.
