3m 11s
Each step Jesus took toward the cross was a decision, a choice he made to continue a journey that would result in his humiliation and our rescue. For hundreds of years, the church has used the Way of the Cross (sometimes called the Stations of the Cross) to meditate on these final moments of Jesus’ life. By blending artistic iconography and scripture, the Way of the Cross takes people on a devotional journey that helps us deeply consider and identify with the calling, suffering, and sacrifice of the Son of God on our behalf. This film for Good Friday and Easter utilizes sculptural depictions of Jesus’ final moments paired with scripture and abstract imagery to evoke a journey of our own, inviting us all to walk these steps along with Jesus.
