The Stations of the Cross as a Christian Meditation for All Christians

Christianity focuses on the death of Christ as a focal point to redemption.   Christ is sacrificed for the sins of the world.  The ugliness of sin is witnessed in this death.  The Stations of the Cross capture the ugliness of sin in the horrendous suffering of Christ.   The Stations are widely seen as a Catholic tradition but in reality are a cherished meditation for all of Christianity if all Christians take the time to walk with Christ and this journey.

It originated in the early centuries in the Holy Land and was brought West by St Francis of Assisi.  Some of the stations have direct biblical reference while others are implied from Scripture.  During Lent, consider walking the journey to Calvary with Christ through this powerful prayer and meditation.
