Walk through the Stations of the Cross

It’s difficult for words to encompass the sorrow of Good Friday or the hope of Easter—there’s something almost unspeakable about the emotions of the holiday. Perhaps it’s fitting, then, that churches often call upon artists during the holidays. Artists help us explore and understand the stories and emotions surrounding these holy events.

If you’re the kind of person that connects with drama, and you’re looking to spend some serious time preparing for Good Friday, you might check out a recent offering from The Bible Experience called the Scriptural Way of the Cross. It uses prayers and audio dramatizations of the Biblical account to walk through the story of Easter from the Garden of Gethsemane to the Resurrection. It’s a variation on the Stations of the Cross, and a great way to frame your reflections on the final stage of Jesus’ ministry on Earth.

How is your church incorporating the arts in their services this weekend?

  • Honestly our church has nothing to do with Holy Week. In fact this month is our Prayer Awareness Month. Myabe the suffering of jesus can be incorporated in it. We’re also having a youth camp this good friday and black saturday. Having fun, you might think but really how i see it is this. everytime we do communion, we remember his death. inf at everyday we should remember his death and his resurrection because that should supposedly be our fuel to go on. For not just a week or some holiday but should be a daily thing.

    Trully it is the thought that should be ever present in your mind and heart I also think that when celebrate the birth, life and the death and resurection of our Lord it gives us opprutunity to share what God has done for us with other that perhaps we would not have,I belive that it is well with my soul to celebrate the Life,Death,and Resurrection with my bretheren Lord Bless you
