This is the stairway to the left side of the rise over the western doorways to the church. This rise is dedicated to remembering the cruicifixion of Jesus at Calvary. The place where Jesus was crucified was a hill known in Aramaic as Golgatha, which means Place of the Skull, perhaps referring to the shape of the hill. In Latin, Golgatha is Calvariæ Locus, hence the common name in English is Calvary. At the top of the stairs is a statue of Jesus wearing a crown of thorns.

This statue depicts Jesus wearing the crown of thorns, during the time when he was being tormented for being the "King of the Jews" prior to being led to Calvary to be crucified.

This statue stands at the top of the stairs on the left side of this rise. It depicts Jesus being helped by an angel after he had fallen on his way to being crucified.

This deep relief stands behind an altar on the rise, and depicts the crucifixion of Jesus on Calvary (Golgatha).

These stained glass windows stand above the Calvary rise. The central window depicts Saint Francis.
