The way of the cross


Jalan Salib Suci Mahawu (The way of the cross)
JSSM is a family's private property. Early 2003, Mrs. Mary Wewengkang and the Korompis-Wewengkang Families imagined a place where people could pray in a quiet, silent and natural place. This place was then dedicated as an expression of gratitude to the Lord for His blessings to the families, especially for the 60th birthday of Mrs. Mary, three years later.
It is between 820 - 1021 meters above the sea level and it has the natural forest with a hilly land contour. The stations are spaced along a path and the bronze sculptures are very realistic. At the top of the hill is a grotto of Mary, as well as retreat houses and the chapel of Mother Mary.
