Details

Every year, on Good Friday, Christians around the world mark the occasion of Jesus’ crucifixion with a service called the Stations of the Cross. But this year, churches around the world have closed in order to stave off the COVID-19 pandemic. Walking the Passion recreates the Stations of the Cross experience as a guided walking meditation that can be performed on your own—at home, in your neighborhood, or during a local nature walk. The project combines traditional liturgy, Ignation imaginative prayer, and guided meditation.

Walking the Passion is narrated by ten voices from the Episcopal Diocese of New York's Young Adult Network.

Station 14—Jesus is Placed in the Tomb

As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus. Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus’ body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him. Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut out of the rock. He rolled a big stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away.—Matthew 27: 57-60

Station 13—Jesus Dies on the Cross

It was now about noon, and darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon, for the sun stopped shining. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two. Jesus called out with a loud voice, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.” When he had said this, he breathed his last.—Luke 23: 44-46

Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.—John 19: 25-27

Station 11—Jesus Promises His Kingdom to the Good Thief

One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”—Luke 23: 39-43
