The Tenth Station Of The Cross
Jesus is stripped of his garments
From the Gospel according to Matthew. 27:33-36
And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means the place of a skull), they offered him wine to drink, mingled with gall, but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. And when they had crucified him, they divided his garments among them by casting lots; then they sat down and kept watch over him there.
This group of statues, representing the Tenth Station of The Cross, was created by Alfred Camilleri Cauchi in 1984 for the Archiconfraternity of St. Joseph of Rabat, Malta.
Special thanks to the rector of the Archiconfraternity of St. Joseph of Rabat Mr. Anthony Casha, and Mr. Bernard Schembri, sacristan of Ta' Giezu church.
