Ideas for Holy Week

How to Make Palm Crosses: Ever wonder those little palm branch crosses are made? King of Peace Church in Kngsland, Ga. offers easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions, together with photographs.

Stations of the Cross: The Stations of the Cross are an ancient form of Christian devotion, originally observed by pilgrims visiting the Holy Land. Eight of the fourteen stations come from Scripture, with the remaining ones being drawn from tradition and legend. This web site provides background information and links to several online versions of the Stations of Cross. St. Andrew’s observes the Stations of the Cross in the sanctuary at 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Good Friday, and this year will offer a service of Stations of the Cross and Morning Prayer each Friday in Lent, from 9 to 10 a.m.

The Way of the Cross: Every Friday afternoon, Franciscan monks lead a procession winding through the streets of the Old City of Jerusalem folowing the “Via Dolorosa” (Latin for the Way of Sorrows), the traditional path along which Jesus, bowed under the weight of the Cross, walked from Pilate’s judgment hall to Calvary. This web site features a map of the “Via Dolorosa” in Jerusalem, and photographs of the traditional stations in the Old City.
