Way of the Cross
The Stations of the Cross are a long-standing Christian tradition in the West. Dating from the thirteenth century and promulgated by Franciscans, this devotional practice emerged as a way of visiting the sacred sites of Christ’s Passion when travel to the Holy Land wasn’t possible. Here at Mount Olive, we’ve celebrated a Stations of the Cross liturgy at noon on Good Friday for many years.
This year, visual representations of our nine stations accompany us in the nave throughout Lent. They come from different artists of varying backgrounds and eras and represent the richness of Christian thought and practice. Embracing our assembly, these pieces wrap us in the mystery of our salvation. They call us to the wonder of Christ’s passion and to solidarity with all victims of violence and oppression.
When you have a moment, you might take this art in—one piece at a time or by walking in prayer the Way of the Cross, the Way that leads through death to life.
