The Stations of the Cross were prayed on Good Friday, April 19 through a course in the parish cemetery in Penndel, Bucks County. The pastor of Our Lady of Grace Parish, Msgr. Joseph Prior, led participants through the stations in a prayerful rite commemorating the passion and death of Jesus. The devotion began near sunset as wind whipped and rain started to fall. It intensified to its heaviest during the station of Christ’s death on the cross, then subsided at the last station in which he was laid in the tomb. (Photos by Sarah Webb)
