The Significance of Lent
Lent is a season of reflection, repentance, and preparation observed by Christians around the world. It is a forty-day period preceding Easter, symbolizing the forty days Jesus spent fasting in the wilderness. During Lent, believers engage in various practices such as prayer, fasting, and self-denial, in order to draw closer to God and prepare their hearts for the celebration of Christ's resurrection on Easter Sunday.
Stations of the Cross: A Journey of Faith
The Stations of the Cross, also known as the Way of the Cross, is a devotional practice that reflects on Jesus' final journey to his crucifixion. This solemn and sacred journey carries deep spiritual meaning and allows believers to meditate on Christ's sacrifice and the depth of his love for humanity. At Quivira Heights Church of Christ, we invite you to embark on this transformative journey during Lent 2016.
Understanding the Stations
The Stations of the Cross typically consist of fourteen specific moments or "stations" along Jesus' path to Calvary. These stations provide a framework for reflection and prayer, enabling believers to follow Jesus' journey step by step. Each station represents a significant event, leading up to the crucifixion, that demands deep contemplation and offers an opportunity for personal connection to Jesus' suffering. During Lent 2016, we will delve into each station, exploring its meaning and relevance in our lives.
