Description:

On this Maundy Thursday of Holy Week, Urban Grace invites the Tacoma
community to reflect on the last hours of the life of Jesus through a
Stations of the Cross experience.  “Stations of the Cross” refer to the
illustration of Jesus’ final hours. Originally, the tradition was a chapel
devotion developed by the Roman Catholic Church.  However, the stations are
now being used in many other traditions.

There are a variety of ways to represent the Stations of the Cross, but
there are usually 14 total pictures or sculptures showing the scenes of
Jesus' final hours.  Urban Grace’s Stations of the Cross starts with the
Lord's Supper and ends with the resurrection. Each of our 14 pieces was
created by a different community artist with their own unique style and
interpretation.  We hope that this diversity will help viewers to reflect
more deeply on what is one of the most important seasons for the Christian
Church worldwide.
