Good Friday | Stations of the Cross

  • Dowd YMCA - Calhoun Room 400 East Morehead Street Charlotte, NC, 28202 United States (map)

Throughout Scripture, in both Old and New Testaments, God's people are called to remember. But they are not called to remember events for the sake of the event. They are called to remember because those events are part of who they are, and what they will become. It is in this mode of remembering, of re-presenting the events of the past as part of a living story that has not yet ended, a story in which we still participate, that the events become more than dates and places. They become markers of a journey as those who were no people become a people, as those who lived in the darkness come into the light of God's presence, are drawn ever nearer to God and his grace.

Good Friday is one of those days of remembering for the people of God.

It is the day we remember the crucifixion of Jesus. The day is called “good” not because we are celebrating Jesus’ death, but rather we are celebrating what His death accomplished. Through His death on the cross, Jesus has paid for our sin and His resurrection is coming.

This year, we are remembering Good Friday together through an ancient method known as The Stations of the Cross.

The Stations of the Cross guide us on a contemplative journey in which we reflect deeply on the Via Dolorosa, or the Way of Sorrow. Each station marks a specific scene in the crucifixion of Jesus, causing us to contemplate the suffering and death of our Savior.

Participants are welcome to come walk through the self-guided experience at anytime between 7am and 7pm.
