For 2025 Stations of the Cross services with meditations will be offered every Friday afternoon in Lent at 2:00pm starting Friday, March 7th, through Good Friday, April 18th.

On the first and last Fridays in Lent (March 7th and April 18th) we will again use the readings and prayers from "A Walk in Jerusalem" by Rev. Canon John L. Peterson, former dean at St. George's College Jerusalem. The readings describe walking the Via Dolorosa (Latin for 'Sorrowful Way', ‘Way of Suffering') in Jerusalem. Photographs of the fourteen Stations of the Cross taken on St. George’s 2022 Trip to Israel will be in a Walk in Jerusalem booklet to illistrate the way.

The Via Dolorosa is a processional route in the Old City of Jerusalem. It represents the path that Jesus took, forced by the Roman soldiers, on the way to his crucifixion. The winding route runs from the former Antonia Fortress to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher—a distance of about 2000 ft. The current route is marked by 14 Stations of the Cross, nine of which are outside, in the streets, with the remaining five stations being currently inside the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.

For the other Fridays in Lent the Stations of the Cross will be done using the smaller Stations of the Cross booklet (from Forward Day by Day).

There is also a Stations of the Cross on our YouTube channel that you can use if you can not join us in person.

Stations of the Cross is a powerful way to contemplate, and enter into, the mystery of Jesus' gift of himself to us.
