Stations of the Cross for Kids

"Let us follow our dear Lord Jesus as he travels the Way of the Cross. He is asking us to follow him. Are you afraid? Jesus himself was afraid to walk this painful journey, but out of love for us, he did so. So for love of him, we follow."

This fully illustrated version of the traditional Stations of the Cross contains new meditations by children's author Regina Doman (Angel in the Waters) along with:

• Scripture verses that point to each station,
• Traditional prayers attributed to St. Francis of Assisi and St. Alphonsus Ligouri,
• Lyrics to the traditional hymn “Stabat Mater” (At the Cross Her Station Keeping) in both Latin and English,
• A feature that gives historical and scriptural lessons concerning the tradition of walking the Way of the Cross
• A final prayer that ties the stations to Eucharistic adoration throughout the liturgical year.
• Detailed pictures compliment the text and allow the reader to follow Christ and his Mother as they make their way through the streets of Jerusalem on the way to Calvary. 

Simon of Cyrene & Legend of the Easter Egg

 Legend tells us that Simon of Cyrene, the man who helped Jesus carry his cross up to Calvary, was an egg merchant. Passing by on his way to market, Simon is stopped by Roman soldiers and ordered to help Jesus carry his cross to Calvary. Three days later, Simon rejoices when he sees that not only has Jesus risen from the dead but his eggs have been transformed into a colorful new gift from Jesus-the first Easter eggs! For children ages 4 to 7.
