This was my first time to view a tableau vivant, and it was refreshing to see something new (to me) during Lent. I thought it was very well done, and I hope it becomes a tradition. I am tripped out that this was proposed, planned, and executed completely by the English Mass community at GSH (Guting Sacred Heart). Props to David Aguledo for introducing this to us and for expanding our experience and our faith!

They were a popular medieval form that revived considerably from the 19th century, probably as they were very suitable for recording by photography.
I asked David about his ideas and what paintings were going to be depicted.
[!note] From David Agudelo 艾達巍 Creative Director
To inspire feelings of piety and awe through the beauty of art, we are making a SCRIPTURAL WAY OF THE CROSS using LIVE REPRODUCTIONS of famous paintings depicting the 14 Stations. This will be based on the Scriptural Way of the Cross celebrated by Pope St John Paul II on Good Friday 1991. Our tableaux vivant is an exercise of Piety through Visual and Dramatic Art. Catholics and non-catholics are welcomed to take part, by just being there and letting the images speak to their piety on the Love Christ showed in his Passion.
The stations to be depicted are:
- Christ in Gethsemane, Heinrich Hofmann, 1886
- Presa di Cristo nell’orto or Cattura di Cristo, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, Ca. 1602
- Christ Before the High Priest, Gerard van Honthorst, Ca. 1617
- Verleugnung Jesu durch Petrus, Carl Bloch, 1850
- “What is truth?” Christ and Pilate, Nikolai Nikolaevich Ge, 1890
