My house shall be called a house of prayer... but you have turned it into yet another "cultural centre".

This is one of the Stations of the Cross in the Beguinage Church in Leuven/ Louvain, Belgium. This is the student chaplaincy Church in the town, but you could be the cleverest student for generations and not be able to figure out which station of the cross this is.
