Simon Helps Jesus Carry His Cross is the fifth of the fourteen stations of the cross. This religious scene recreates the moment when the Roman soldiers forced Simon to help carry the cross when Jesus was too weak to bear the weight of the cross. Simon was reluctant at first, but gradually realized Jesus’ sacrifice and love in the process of helping. His actions not only alleviated Jesus’ pain but also symbolized the virtue and responsibility of helping others in difficult situations. This scene reminds believers to take the initiative to support those in trouble in their lives and to convey love and compassion through actions.
This sculpture from our factory captures the dynamic postures of Simon and Jesus in detail. Jesus’ fatigue contrasts with Simon’s strength, and the texture of the cross and the details of the two people’s clothing are also portrayed vividly.
