We will be praying the Stations of the Cross on the Fridays in Lent at 6pm. We hope you can join us for this ancient church prayer that began in the fourth century, when were first openly able to go to Jerusalem and walk in the footsteps of on Good Friday. The Stations of the Cross in the form we know best are of comparatively recent vintage in Church terms, dating back to the year the U.S. Constitution was ratified. Devotions to the Way of the Cross began in earnest after 1342, when the Franciscan friars were given custody of the holy sites in the Holy Land. The Franciscans have been closely identified with the devotion ever since. The number of stations varied widely, with some manuals of devotion listing as many as 37! The term "stations" in describing the Way of the Cross was first used in the narrative of an English , William Wey, who visited the Holy Land twice in the 15th century. In 1731, Clement XII allowed all churches to have stations and fixed the number at 14, where it has been ever since. St. Thomas the Apostle Parish Fourth Sunday of Lent Page 3
