Stations of the cross
We adore thee O Christ and we bless thee. Because by your Holy Cross you Have redeemed the world.
Station of the Cross is a fun and memorable way , for children and with diferent groups during the lenten season. Such a beautiful way, over the years we used as a family , illustrated diferent stations and prayers. So many beautiful ideas in various blogs of catholic homeschoolers. I am so thrilled to find so many resources again to make station of cross for this year... 1, 2, 3 and 4.
Catholic icing has a pretty idea of making burlap bunting of the Stations of the cross. I would love to make one for the altar with my children these days.
Making station of the cross blocks sound interesting and ideas here in sparkle and sprinkles blog.
