What's on

Stations of the Cross: Witnessing Jesus Passion

Every Friday at for 1 hour
St Laurence: Stroud Centre for Peace and the Arts
The Shambles Stroud, GL5 1AP, United Kingdom

This ancient devotional practice involves walking around the church stopping at fourteen points, which represent Jesus’ walk from Pilate’s court to Golgotha and his crucifixion and burial. At each station we will pause to contemplate an image, read Scripture and specially chosen poetry and texts, as we hold the suffering of the world in our hearts, in reflection, prayer and repentance.
