St. Mark’s Way of the Cross is modeled after the traditional Christian Stations of the Cross, in that it has fourteen stopping places and offers a structure for meditative worship. The original Stations mark the places where Jesus stopped while carrying his cross to crucifixion. Pilgrims are asked to focus on the ways to be Christ-like in their lives.
Our Way of the Cross allows walkers to meditate on a spiritually-charged word while resting on a bench at each site. A beautiful iron cross symbolically illustrates the word that is etched into a stone marking the site. A brochure is available at the start of the Way to help guide your meditation. Our path provides a multi-sensory view of the natural world of the desert. As you wander the path, you are called to wonder about God’s presence beside you.
