Stations of the Cross
𝑴𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒚 30th March, 2pm, in church for about 45 minutes. Journey with Jesus from his trial at Pilate’s house to the Cross at Calvary.
The Stations of the Cross have formed part of Christian devotion during Lent and Passiontide for many centuries because they enable us to engage actively with the path of suffering walked by Jesus, the 'via dolorosa', the way of sorrows.
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. In the late fourteenth century, the Franciscan protectors of the holy places in Jerusalem put up images at which people would pause, reflect and pray.
Eventually, those pilgrims brought the practice of walking a path of images from Christ’s passion back to their home countries, and many churches have images of the 15 traditional Stations of the Cross on their walls. The pictures in this video are from the set at St John the Evangelist, the parish church of Newbold with Dunston, Chesterfield. These were a gift from St Hughes Catholic Church and we display them during Lent and Holy week. https://youtu.be/y6EaBJKWil4
