"Stations of the Cross" Art Display on loan to Memorial Through Easter

If you look in sills of the stained-glass windows of the Sanctuary during Lent, you'll find some beautiful stone relief depictions of the stations of the cross. These are prayers markers on loan to Memorial from First United Methodist - Baton Rouge (Louisiana).

These 10 prayer markers were commissioned for First UMC in 2014 and designed and created by liturgical artist Deborah Luke, who is a Baton Rouge native. Two sets were made and dedicated on Palm Sunday in 2016. Of the two sets, one hangs permanently in Aldrich Chapel at First UMC. The second set was created to share with other churches for purposes of study and reflection.

A Stations of the Cross payer walk typically depicts the events in the life if Jesus from Palm Sunday to Easter. You are encouraged to take some time and visit the stations in the Sanctuary. A resource book is available to use as a guide as you travel your journey through contemplative prayer.

The markers will remain on loan to us through this Easter season.
