Stations of the Cross
|
From early centuries pilgrims would travel to Jerusalem in order to walk along the very streets that Jesus walked - walking along the path known variously as the Way of Sorrows, the Via Dolorosa, The Way of the Cross, or following the Stations of the Cross. There developed places along that way to stop and remember particular events - some recorded in the Bible, and some that come from pious legend - and to pray and ponder what that journey means for the pilgrim. As others heard stories that the pilgrims would bring home, they wished they too could go to Jerusalem to travel that path. Such a journey is not possible for most of us, but bringing the Stations of the Cross into our current location allows us to spiritually make such a pilgrimage.
Jesus can meet you along this path, no matter where your path takes place. |
Coloring the Stations
Get out your colored pencils, and spend some meditative time with each Station - using either the more detailed or easier versions. Each station also has a devotional guide with questions for adults and for children.
