Stations of the Cross

The Stations of the Cross is a solemn service. The participants walk through the sanctuary by candlelight, stopping to pray and listen to biblical readings at the fourteen different stations marked (at Good Shepherd) by engravings hung on the walls of the sanctuary. Each station depicts a moment in the suffering of Christ, from the trial where he was condemned, to his procession through Jerusalem carrying his cross, to the hill called Golgotha where he was crucified, ending at the final station, his burial in a tomb.

The gathering exits the sanctuary in silence.
