What are the Stations of the Cross?

The Stations of the Cross (or Way of the Cross) is a Lenten devotion. We journey with Jesus on his final day, from his condemnation by Pontius Pilate to his burial in the tomb.

There are fourteen ‘stations’, placed around the walls of the Cathedral. At each of these stops, there are reflections and prayers based on the event remembered. By taking these steps we become more familiar with Jesus’ suffering; in this way we appreciate more deeply how much He loves us.

In the Cathedral

The Stations of the Cross are prayed on Sundays during Lent at 4pm, and on Good Friday morning and evening. Details are given on the Cathedral newsletter during Lent.
