Way of the Cross

Traditionally, the Way of the Cross is called the Stations of the Cross. It is an old Christian tradition of remembering and entering into Christ's journey to His crucifixion. Historically this was done through a pilgrimage to Jerusalem to visit seven sacred places where Jesus was tried and then walked on His way to the cross. It then became a wider tradition using 14 pictures (art, sculptures, shrines, etc.) of biblical--and non-biblical--events that Jesus was a part of as His time on earth came to an end. Over the years it has morphed and changed and different churches practice it in different ways. There can be any number of "stations," but the most common tradition is 14, with the resurrection being a less common 15th station. Only eight of those 14 stations have basis in Scripture. However, at its heart, the Way of the Cross is not about the number of stations but is all about entering into Jesus' final days on earth.So, we invite you to enter into Jesus' life and what He went through as He headed to the cross. Each week of this six week study you will experience different events at the end of Jesus' earthly life. We hope this journey will draw you closer than ever to your Savior.
