Thanks to the hospitality of the beautiful St. James Anglican Church in Newport Beach, I was able to capture pictures of a few of the stations of the cross.
May these pictures draw you into the passion of Jesus Christ in a fresh way this Lenten Season.
(John 19:6, 15-17)
(Mark 15:21)
(Luke 23:27-31)
(John 19:1-3)
(Luke 23:44-46)
**Though the stations have been primarily used by the Catholic church, they are a wonderful way for any follower of Christ to meditate upon the painful road Jesus took to his place of crucifixion.
**The prayer behind these images is that one can use them as a springboard into contemplating the various aspects of Jesus' journey by visualizing what it might have been like as he walked along the path to his death. The stations help break down the journey into smaller segments so as to more easily enter into the journey with Jesus in his suffering, rather than to move too quickly over this aspect of Holy Week.
**Some of the stations are not recounted in the gospel narratives and can be passed over if one is uncomfortable with them.
