About the event
The Stations of the Cross have formed part of Christian devotion at Passiontide for many centuries because they enable us to engage actively with the path of suffering walked by Jesus. They originated when early Christians visited Jerusalem and wanted to follow literally in the footsteps of Jesus, tracing the path from Pilate’s house to Calvary. They would pause for prayer and devotion at various points.
The service offers a way of walking the via dolorosa (‘Way of Sorrows’) as we recall key moments from the passion and death of Jesus. For each of the Stations of the Cross, there is a short reading, a reflection or meditation, and a prayer, together with an image to reflect on.
