XIV. Station: "Entombment"
The body of Jesus is wrapped in a linen cloth and laid in the grave. Mining relic: "shield support"
Hydraulic mine support for the longwall, with the opening to the seam. The shield support protects the miners from falling stones and coal. Key quote:
"Wonderfully protected by good powers, we confidently await whatever may come. God is with us in the evening and in the morning and certainly on every new day." [Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Protestant theologian, victim of the National Socialists] (Sources: plaques and kreuzweghaniel.de/station-14/)
