The average weight of a cast group of figures was 5–7.5 tons. The first bronze cast of the station was placed on a plinth in 1903, the last in 1912; work has been extended to due to the need to rebuild the Jasna Góra tower after the fire in 1900. The statues of the station were located on the north, west and south-west sides, along the embankment line, high plinths make the sculptures clearly visible from the crown of the monastery walls, which gives an unusual effect. Simultaneously with the works on the stations of the Passion of Christ, works were carried out on the construction of a fenced area adjacent to the bastion fortifications of the park (→ Jasna Góra monastery park) according to the design of S. Szyller. On August 31, 1913, 300,000 people came to Jasna Góra for the dedication of the Way of the Cross. people.

The Way of the Cross at Jasna Góra, a monumental group of 14 Passion monuments cast in bronze (stations of the Lord's Passion), funded by contributions from the faithful, placed in 1903–12 on plinths in the foreground of the monastery ramparts. Consecrated on August 31, 1913, they are an important monument of Polish religious art. Efforts to build the Way of the Cross were made by the Pauline monks of Jasna Góra in 1864, but met with a firm refusal of the tsarist authorities. The initiator of establishing the Calvary was Father Pius Przeździecki; favorable conditions for the implementation of the project came in 1898 - after the transfer of the Russian troops quartered at Jasna Góra to the city. In order to organize the Way of the Cross, a 12-member pilgrimage committee was formed under the leadership of A. Koziarski; the general plan, sent on 25 September 1897, received a positive opinion from the governor of Piotrków, and permission was also obtained to carry out a collection (for the amount of 15,000 rubles) to fund 14 stations.
