The Stations of the Cross Re-visualized
Trinity Episcopal Church - St. Louis, Missouri
Inspired by an ECVA online exhibition, Trinity Parish began a
project to create a modern interpretation of the Stations of the Cross
with art for each station created by a different parishioner. Trinity
already had a set of bronze stations, but this new series brought
together fourteen members to create a diverse group of work offering
differing interpretations on the stations. “Some pieces are political,
some spiritual, and some intensely personal." |

Celebrate the Seasons with Worship
Banners
St. Thomas Episcopal Church - Canonsburg, Pennsylvania
St. Thomas Church wanted to have seasonal banners "that through the
course of a liturgical year, the congregation would be reminded of the
mystery of Jesus Christ." They commissioned artist Jenny Gallo to design
and create a series of banners using color and symbols to "aid the
congregation’s appreciation of the sacred", but that would also blend
with turn-of-the-century church. |

Legacy Tree - The Colorado
Episcopal Legacy Society
Colorado Episcopal Foundation
Mosaic artist Kathy Thaden was commissioned to create a design for a
permanent installation as a commemorative art installation to honor the
founding churches and individuals of The Colorado Episcopal Legacy
Society. With a tree as The Legacy Society's logo, Thaden decided, "My

four seasons, remembering Ecclesiastes 'for everything
there is a season', and the seasons of our own lives." |

The Holy Spirit
Tapestry
Grace Episcopal Church
- Baldwinsville, New York
Based on a design by artist Catherine Kapikian, over 50 people
associated with Grace Episcopal Church created the Holy Spirit
Tapestry –
a needlepoint mural 10 feet wide by 9 feet
tall. "Couched in the swirling, shifting hues, values and intensities of
color, this work yields the mystery that God is at once Creator,
Redeemer and Sustainer. Fabricated by the resident community, it is a
visible and material sign that God's love is found in this place through
rich encounters.” |

The Way of the Cross
St. James Episcopal Cathedral - Fresno, California
After three years of work, sculptor Dorothy Gager's 14 Stations of
the Cross were installed along The Way of the Cross, a garden
path leading to the Chapel of the Holy Innocents. Of the stations,
Father Carlos Raines, Dean of St. James Cathedral said, "It's a
ministry for people to grieve over memorials. It's a healing path.
Its intention is for people to connect to God who understands their
hurt and pain." |

congregation and began holding worship services in a house. Three and a
half years later, their path has led them to the dedication of their
newly constructed church building. They also constructed a sanctuary
with a labyrinth built into the floor with 43,000 marble tiles. |
