Stations of the Cross
This week (Monday through Thursday) we are hosting the Stations of the Cross:An Interactive Experience. We had 4 people go through last night, we have about 6 for tonight and about 6 on Wednesday night. Here is a little blurb about the experience:
Participants will sign up for a time (The experience will be open from 7 PM until 10 PM), receive a personal CD player which will guide them through the Stations of the Cross using music, and narration and come to a deeper understanding and appreciation for Jesus. The Stations of the Cross: An Interactive Worship experience will involve all your senses and will use narration, music, meditation, art, video, prayer, silence and solitude to guide you through the last few hours of Jesus’ life and his experience on the way to the cross. Over 15 stations participants will travel with Jesus from the moment he was condemned to death, to his death on the cross, and finally being laid in the tomb.
Legend has it that the Stations of the Cross, also known as the Via Dolorosa or the Via Crucis, were first walked by Jesus’ mother, Mary, in the years following his death, burial, and resurrection. By the end of the fourth century, scores of pilgrims came to Jerusalem every year to walk along the Via Dolorosa. The Via Dolorosa traces Jesus’ path from Pilate’s house to Calvary. By the Middle Ages, Christians were recreating the Via Dolorosa all over Europe, some measuring the exact distances between stations. Today, the Stations can be found in most Roman Catholic churches, and they are most often walked during Lent and especially during Holy Week.
This type of worship experience using an ancient spiritual discipline updated for our emerging postmodern culture is something that we at Veritas are passionate about. The Stations of the Cross: An Interactive Experience fulfills one of our core values, that of Authentic Worship.
If you are around Lancaster, and want to go through the Stations, drop me an e-mail or give me a call.
