Stations of the Cross

Today is Good Friday and our church, Our Lady Star of the Sea Catholic Church, had a reenactment of the final hours of Jesus’ life and his crucifixion put on the Spanish members of the church. There are 14 Stations of the, some churches have paintings, others have sculptures, our church has sculptures.

These are the 14 Stations of the Cross but we didn’t walk around to each one today, instead we had a moving reenactment.

Jesus was being beaten as he carried the cross, he was then put on the cross. After his “death” they removed him and laid by his mother.

He is carried to the tomb, put in it and then sealed it shut.

Watching this reenactment brought tears to just about everyone. These are not professional actors and actresses but they all did an excellent job of going through the Stations of the Cross on Good Friday.
