Stations of the Cross

The Stations of the Cross at All Hallows (Miskin) do not follow the traditional pattern of 14, but instead were modelled after those at Clifton Cathedral which follow exclusively events recounted in the Gospels; you can read more of the Miskin story here. Similar sets of Stations can be found at Sacred Heart, Northampton and the University of Notre Dame, Australia. The choice of Scriptural topics is not quite the same as the Scriptural set popularised by St John Paul II since 1991.

We have a collection of resources which you can use to follow the Miskin Stations. The PDFs can be opened in Adobe Reader and printed in Bookfold mode, set to A4 landscape for a folded A5 booklet, or set to A3 landscape for a large print A4 version.

Companion Leaflet

A simple leaflet offers basic prayers for the Stations, a verse of Were you there? for each of the Scriptural Stations, and all 20 verses of the Stabat Mater in English.

Set 1

This set of meditations is modelled on a booklet produced for the Clifton Stations in 1976, with the Imprimatur of Bishop Mervyn Alexander. The Leader’s Booklet can be used by a single leader or passed around members of the congregation to lead each Station. The Participant Sheet allows the congregation to sing a verse of the Stabat Mater after each Station.

Set 2

This set of meditations is modelled on a revised booklet produced for the Clifton Stations in 2015. The Leader’s Booklet can be used by a single leader or passed around members of the congregation to lead each Station. The Participant Sheet allows the congregation to recite a verse of Scripture (mostly psalms) after each Station.

For Children

A set of meditations has also been produced to lead a service for children (with a physical item prepared for reflection at each Station). There is no leaflet for individual participants but there is a Leader’s Booklet and also a Reader’s Sheet to allow a different voice to offer and lead a prayer at each Statiom.
