This Pocket Oratory is perfect for the time of Lent but also for any other time of the year when you want to follow the Passion and Death of Our Lord, and would make a very special Confirmation present as well as any other occasion.
The Stations of the Cross or the Way of the Cross, also known as the Way of Sorrows or the Via Crucis, refers to a series of images depicting Jesus Christ on the day of his crucifixion and accompanying prayers. The stations grew out of imitations of the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem, which is a traditional processional route symbolising the actual path Jesus walked to Mount Calvary. The objective of the stations is to help the Christian faithful to make a spiritual pilgrimage through contemplation of the Passion of Christ. It has become one of the most popular devotions and the stations can be found in many Western Christian churches, including those in the Roman Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican, and Methodist traditions.
These wonderfully printed Stations will inspire you with the clarity and accuracy of each one. The name of each Station is written on the bottom part of the leather cross. The crucifix for the Stations of the Cross is always wooden.
