Stations of the Cross
read by members of the congregation
The devotion known as the Way of the Cross is an adaptation to local usage of a custom widely observed by pilgrims to Jerusalem: the offering of prayer along the Via Dolorosa (translation: The Way of Sorrow or The Way of Grief) at a series of places in that city traditionally associated with our Lord’s passion and death.
The number of stations, which at first varied widely, finally became fixed at fourteen. Of these, eight are based directly on events recorded in the Gospels. The remaining six (numbers 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, and 13) are based on inferences from the Gospel account or from pious legend.
Traditionally, the stations are made before a series of plain wooden crosses or a pictorial representation of the event being commemorated placed along the walls of the church or in some other convenient place. The one who prays these prayers walks from station to station following this representational "Via Dolorosa."
This service is particularly appropriate to and is often prayed on the Fridays of Lent.
