Walking the Passion

Every year, on Good Friday, Christians around the world mark the occasion of Jesus’ crucifixion with a service called the Stations of the Cross. But this year, churches around the world have closed in order to stave off the COVID-19 pandemic. Walking the Passion recreates the Stations of the Cross experience as a guided walking meditation that can be performed on your own—at home, in your neighborhood, or during a local nature walk. The project combines traditional liturgy, Ignation imaginative prayer, and guided meditation.


Walking the Passion is narrated by ten voices from the Episcopal Diocese of New York's Young Adult Network.
