The garden is behind the main church, just on the banks of the Dunaj River. There's a small gate and a staircase that leads down to the garden.

In the garden, we see the whole story of Christianity's birth played out large scale sculputres and small-scale figureines housed in small, decorative cases.

It is almost the same as the pattern of mysteries in the Catholic Rosary, with some differences. For example, there's nothing representing third Sorrowful Mystery, the crown of thorns. (Information about the Rosary and accompanying mysteries.)

Not all are shown here, but at right is the final row of cases.

Along the back edge of the garden is the passion story, beginnning with Jesus' prayer in the garden and concluding with the crucifixion — basically Gibson's Passion in statues.

At right, the beating of Jesus.

Next, Jesus carrying the cross. It is here that we notice for the first time the recurring gesture Jesus gives with his right hand: forefinger and middle finger extended, though joined together, much like the Boy Scouts.

It is interesting to note that Jesus, after the beating, is now once again regally dressed.

In the rear, right corner is the crucifixion scene. It's interesting to note the difference in proportion between this sculpture and the previous regarding the size of the cross.

With the resurrection, seen at right, the large stone sculptures are replaced with the small painted wooden carvings.

Notice again the gesture.

With the assention, we find basically the same figure, with angles added.

And again, the gesture.

The last stop is the Virgin Mary's coronation as Queen of Heaven.

Many Protestants misunderstand this, combined with the proclamation of ____ (Mary is the Mother of God) to mean that Mary is God's wife. A more correct understanding of the title would be that Mary is Queen Mother.
