Stations of the Cross

Via Delarosa, The way of the Cross. The Great Hall has joined in the Lenten tradition. Recently added were the Stations of the Cross for personal reflection and for group reflection on Wednesday April 20th. This tradition dates back to the 5th century when pilgims longed for a closer relationship with the Crucified Christ by following in His footsteps. The tradition had eight stations based biblical accounts. The original eight were #1, 2, 5, 8, 10, 11, 12, & 14. In the 15th & 16th century the number of stations varied from the original eight to sometimes as many as thirty. The fourteen we use at Middleham & St Peters was established in 1857. Join us as we explore this most significant adventure. Close your eyes experience the sounds, the horror, and hear Jesus say Forgive them during the 12th station. Anything is possible when one with the Spirit.
