The Way of the Cross

As I come to the end of my journey into praying the news, I have discovered (as is so often the case) that there are so many others also walking this same road. That has been an encouragement and I have enjoyed seeing the ways others bring together their faith, global events, and the web of interconnectedness that we all have with each other. During this Holy Week, I have found this exact combination of things at the website of Sacred Space. They have taken the Stations of the Cross and used art from Kenya, a concern for social justice around the world, the effects of global climate change and our own personal connection to look at the events of Good Friday. I post it here, if you find the time to go through the stations in the next few days I hope you'll let me know what you think. http://www.sacredspace.ie/lent/stations/kenya/
I particularly like how they have used tribal costumes, modern Western-style clothing, and traditional biblical garments to get the point across in the artwork that we are all present as Jesus endures this sacrifice on our behalf. Have a blessed Easter!
