Resurrection Garden


Resurrection Garden in Autumn

Directly across the road at the end of the Way of the Cross is the Resurrection Garden.  Some have called it the 15th Station of the Cross-Christ's glorious Resurrection on Easter Sunday. 

A concrete pathway leads the visitor up to and around the Resurrection Cave that resembles a giant stone.  The cave is hollowed out on one side, revealing a cut geode, with a tomb-like vacant slab representing the Risen Christ. 

A continuously burning flame reminds us of the everlasting life that Christ has promised us. 

Circling the Resurrection Cave are geode-shaped rocks that depict the appearances of Christ to the Apostles and others after His Resurrection.
