DESCRIPTION:The Stations of the Cross are a series of 14 images depicting 
 Christ on the day of his crucifixion. The stations were a way of re-enacti
 ng the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem\, the path that Jesus took to Calvary and
  his crucifixion. The idea was to help people make a spiritual pilgrimage 
 through contemplation of Christ´s final steps. \n\nHere in Spain many tow
 ns have created a pilgrim route in the form of the stations of the cross a
 nd most churches have the 14 stations around their walls. \n\nWe will meet
  in church at 12 noon and follow the stations on the church walls and on t
 he altar (see photo attached). As with other events in Holy Week\, we are 
 no longer spectators\, but participants. As we walk the 14 stations with o
 ur Lord\, we meet Simon of Cyrene\, the women of Jerusalem\, St Veronica w
 ho wiped Christ's face with her veil\; we feel the weight of the cross and
  the weight of betrayal\, and we suffer the pain as Christ is whipped\, as
  he stumbles and falls\, and the humiliation as he is stripped of his clot
 hes. And the despair as he carries his cross up that sweaty hill\, to be n
 ailed to it at the top. And to die...in agony. \n\n"Lord\, … You accepte
 d patiently and humbly the rebuffs of human life\, as well as the torture 
 of the cross. Help us to accept the pains and conflicts that come to us ea
 ch day as opportunity to grow as people and become more like you……… 
 that we can come to live more fully - only by dying with you\, that we can
  rise with you." (Mother Teresa)
