The Stations of the Cross originated when early Christians visited Jerusalem hoping to follow 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, Christians of differing traditions have used this form of devotion.

This year we make our pilgrimage online. We will be using stations created by students from St Peter’s School, York to create short, reflective videos. Each station will be accompanied by a Bible reading, a piece of music, a short reflection and a prayer. The videos will be available on our YouTube channel and on this page.

The stations will be released daily from Friday 26 March until 4 April, Easter Day (excluding Holy Saturday).
