The Stations of the Cross have formed part of Christian devotion at Passiontide for many centuries because they enable us to engage actively with the path of suffering walked by Jesus. They originated when early Christians visited Jerusalem and wanted to follow literally in the footsteps of Jesus, tracing the path from Pilate’s house to Calvary. They would pause for prayer and devotion at various points. Eventually, those pilgrims brought the practice back to their home countries and ever since then Christians of differing traditions have used this form of devotion.
Please note: these Services will take place every Friday starting Friday 7th March - 11th April, alternating between All Saints Church and St. Mary's Catholic Church, Compton, Leek (14th, 28th & 11th April will be held at St. Mary's Church).
The last Stations of the Cross Service will take place on Good Friday - 18th April at 1.00pm, with Hot Cross Buns and Reflection, finishing at 3.00pm
