Grotto of Lourds

Emmitsburg
This image is a bronze relief titled "Jesus is Condemned to Death". It is one of the Stations. It is set in stone along a walkway back to a pool that was established here years ago. Elizabeth Ann Seton used to come here and worship in her day (1809). "Mother" Seton, as they called her, had several children. She was assigned here by my kinsman, Bishop Carroll of Baltimore and the first bishop in the United States, after she converted from the Episcopal Protestant Church to Roman Catholicism. Later in the century, the Sisters of Mercy (as I recall they were called) were among the first caregivers to arrive at Gettysburg after the battle. They could hear the canon from their convent.
Just before stopping here on the way home, I purchased a large cast centurion statue at the antique made in about 1880. I had wondered what I might call it. It compliments another statue that I bought three years ago of the same era and genre which I named Fidelis Bellicus. Today's image has come at just the right moment and has given me an ideal name--Longinus.
