Pope Luciani Stations of the Cross (2008)

On the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Pope Luciani’s election and his sudden death (1978-2008), the community of Canale d'Agordo decided to remember such an important anniversary by building the Stations of the Cross along one of the most striking routes of our village: Via Cavallera, with departure from Piazza Papa Luciani  at n° 20.
The bronze tiles were sculpted by Franco Murer from Falcade, son of the famous Augusto, and were offered by various people, families and groups, admirers and people devoted to Pope John Paul I.
Anybody who wants to admire the works or pray in front of the tiles can do it at all ease from Easter to All Saints. In winter the itinerary is covered with snow and ice and the tiles are often hidden by the snow cover. The itinerary consists of 15 stations which connect Piazza della Pieve to the last area of the municipality of Canale facing the cemetery of Caviola.
It is possible to carry out the celebration of the Stations of the Cross autonomously along the route or by calling the Parrocchia di S. Giovanni Battista di Canale (Piazza Papa Luciani, 20, 32020 Canale d' Agordo-BL, tel/fax. 0437.590280; e-mail: donbaldovin@gmail.com).
