STATIONS OF THE CROSS
In the chapel, the Stations of the Cross can be found on three of the walls. Have a close look at them, then try the following questions.
1. If I = 1, V = 5 and X = 10, work out how many Stations of the Cross there are.
(If there is a letter on the left hand side of V or X then you take it away from V(5) or X(10), e.g. IV = 4, IX = 9. BUT if there is a letter on the right hand side, then you add it on, e.g. VII = 7, XIII = 13.
2. Can you match the number of the Station to the description of the picture?
