'Stations of the Cross'

for 30 mins
St Margaret, Aislaby
Egton Road Aislaby Whitby, YO21 1SU, United Kingdom

Join us in church for the service of 'Stations of the Cross' where we follow the 14-step Christian devotion commemorating Jesus Christ’s journey to crucifixion, allowing the faithful to meditate on His Passion through prayer and reflection.

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. Eventually, those pilgrims brought the practice back to their home countries and ever since then Christians of differing traditions have used this form of devotion.
