How to do the Way of the Cross at home?

A person praying in front of a cross
  • Start by dowloading our printable Stations of the Cross from our post about Via Dolorosa-The Way of the Cross. 
  • Cut the image of the stations out and place the the stations at different parts of your room, your home or even your garden.
  • Walk along the Way of the Cross while stopping and praying at each station with your family. 
  • One person carries a candle and leads the procession. You may chose to appoint a person to read the reflections of each Station or multiple children can take turns to do this.
  • You may use this Way of the Cross prayer 
  • A short way of the cross for younger kids can be downloaded here: Short Way of The Cross Prayer
  • For younger kids, you can choose to only announce each station and say
  • Leader: We adore You, O Christ, and we bless You.
    All: Because by Your Holy Cross, You have redeemed the world.
  • Your family can now walk the road Jesus walked as he carried His cross to Golgotha.
