Stations of the Cross

We will be journeying with Jesus on his way to the cross. We will be using the devotional practice called The Stations of the Cross. The stations are based on the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem which is believed to be the actual path Jesus walked to Golgotha. For over 500 years, Catholic and Protestant Christians have been using the Stations to make a spiritual pilgrimage through contemplation on the Passion of Christ.
