STATIONS OF THE CROSS
CONTEMPLATE & REMEMBER
The Stations of the Cross are an ancient way Christ-followers have prepared for Good Friday and Easter. The practice began with pilgrims to Jerusalem walking the road that Jesus followed to the cross. When they returned home, they replicated that experience for others by selecting a series of scenes from Jesus’ final hours to create a spiritual walk through Jesus’ suffering and death. The purpose of the Stations of the Cross is to slow us down to pay attention to what Jesus actually went through to rescue us.
Each year, during Holy Week, select Christ Community campuses offer Stations of the Cross experiences.
