Stations of the Cross

for 1 hour
Settle: Holy Ascension
Church Street Settle, BD24 9JA, United Kingdom

GOOD FRIDAY - For centuries, Christian pilgrims to Jerusalem have retraced the Via Dolorosa, the route along which Jesus carried his cross to his death. As they did so, they would stop at certain points or “stations” to recall and meditate on events surrounding the crucifixion. In the Middle Ages churches developed the practice of using painted or sculpted Stations of the Cross to create a symbolic journey for worshippers who were unable to make the pilgrimage to Jerusalem.
This custom is continued here each year as part of our worship during Holy Week.
