March 29, 2024·Mike Adams·Comments Off on In pictures: Good Friday Stations of the Cross at St. Joseph Catholic Church
For several years, parishioners at St. Joseph Catholic Church on Lumpkin Road have brought to life the final hours of Jesus on Good Friday.
Once again on March 29, they presented the Stations of the Cross in Spanish.
The Stations of the Cross are also known as the Way of the Cross or Via Crucis. The 14 stations mark Jesus’s passion and death on the cross. Each one depicts a moment on his journey to Calvary, usually through sacred art, prayers and reflections. The practice began as pious pilgrims traced his path through Jerusalem on the Via Dolorosa, according to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops website.
The services are typically held inside the church during Lent, which began with Ash Wednesday on Feb. 14.
