Stations of the Cross — mosaic liturgical art in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, by Scott Parsons

Abstract

Fifteen small glass mosaics, each 8 by 10 inches, hung like jeweled cairns against the red brick of the sanctuary at Saint Michael Parish.

Narrative

The Stations of the Cross are conceived as stopping-off points for the congregation to sojourn at these prayerful markers, contemplating the Holy Week journey of Christ into Jerusalem through his suffering, death, and resurrection.

Aesthetically, the designs are meant to complement the three large mosaics embedded in the church floor in 2014. The swirling fields of color in each mosaic panel contain hundreds of pieces of mosaic glass. Interweaving fragments of gestural color and deep contrast signify the Paschal mystery of death and new life.

These Stations of the Cross were blessed on Good Friday, April 2, 2021.
