At St Aidan’s we have a set of images depicting Jesus’ journey to Calvary from the trial by Pilate to placing his body in the borrowed tomb. On Fridays in Lent we walk round these images or ‘stations’ and meditate on this journey, using short bible readings and prayers. A printed order of service is available. A different set of readings prayers and meditations will be used for a service on Good Friday which includes singing verses from suitable hymns.

On this the most solemn day of the church’s year we follow Christ on his last journey to the Cross, walking (if able) or sitting and joining in short prayers interspersed with readings, meditations and hymns. We are encouraged to reflect on the meaning of Christ’s suffering and our response to it, while anticipating the mystery of the resurrection, two days later.
