The new Via Crucis of Loyola.

First station: People displaced by war in Masisi, east of the Democratic Republic of Congo. The image reminds us that migrations are part of the history of humanity and that we all are children of immigrants. Second station: Refugees of the war in Syria passing through Hungary towards Germany. They are the reflection of the more than one billion people who have been forced to leave their homeland in the last decades. Eleventh station: A Burundian displaced woman, in the refugee camp of Kiyange, Burundi. She, in her cheerful dress of colors, represents the danger of migratory traffic for women.

The garden of the Sanctuary of Loyola is the scene in which a new Via Crucis has been installed, composed of images of great size, quality and depth of the migratory phenomenon, biblical quotations that invite to prayer and texts that inform and move to reflection and commitment. This is an initiative of the Sanctuary of Loyola in collaboration with the Jesuit NGO Alboan.

There is also a new station added to the traditional ones: it represents the Resurrection. The image shows a demonstration in Barcelona in favour of the refugees. The biblical quotation, taken from Matthew 25, recalls: "... I was hungry and you gave me food ... I was an immigrant and you welcomed me."

A QR code allows, through your mobile, to carry out a spiritual itinerary with the Via Crucis or to take a more focused tour of the social dimension of this reality. The project is completed with fifteen small images located in the lower left corner. They show the Via Crucis made by the Cameroonian Jesuit Engelbert Mveng (1930-1995). The original work is in the Nairobi theology, has been photographed by Benedict Mayaki SJ for this Loyola project in which spirituality, justice, art and nature are united.
