Mira Road, Apr 18 : : To help the faithful reflect on the Lord’s Passion the youth of St. Joseph’s Parish, Mira Road enacted a beautiful and creative Way of the Cross.
It started with the opening prayer by Fr. Dominic Vas followed by the live enacted way of the Cross on the ground and continued in the premises of the church.
It focused on family life, social issues.
Thousands of people participated in the way of the cross and reflected on the passion of our Lord. In the end, Fr. Agnelo Rebelo congratulated the youth and all those who worked hard to organize it. It was indeed a meaningful way of the cross.

The Stations of the Cross originated in pilgrimages to Jerusalem. A desire to reproduce the holy places in other lands seems to have manifested itself at quite an early date. At the monastery of Santo Stefano at Bologna a group of connected chapels was constructed as early as the 5th century, by St. Petronius, Bishop of Bologna, which was intended to represent the more important shrines of Jerusalem, and in consequence, this monastery became familiarly known as "Santa Gerusalemme."[3] These may perhaps be regarded as the germ from which the Stations afterwards developed, though it is tolerably certain that nothing that we have before about the 15th century can strictly be called a Way of the Cross in the modern sense. Although several travelers who visited the Holy Land during the twelfth, thirteenth, and 14th centuries (e.g. Riccoldo da Monte di Croce, Burchard of Mount Sion, James of Verona),[4] mention a "Via Sacra," i.e., a settled route along which pilgrims were conducted, there is nothing in their accounts to identify this with the Way of the Cross, as we understand it.[citation needed] The devotion of the Via Dolorosa, for which there have been a number of variant routes in Jerusalem, was probably developed by the Franciscans after they were granted administration of the Christian holy places in Jerusalem in 1342. Today, nine of the Stations of the Cross that were established by the Franciscans are located along the Via Dolorosa as it wends its way from the northwest corner of the Temple Mount to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, within which the remaining five stations are located.The earliest use of the word "stations," as applied to the accustomed halting-places in the Via Sacra at Jerusalem, occurs in the narrative of an English pilgrim, William Wey, who visited the Holy Land in the mid-15th century, and described pilgrims following the footsteps of Christ to the cross. In 1521 a book called Geystlich Strass was printed with illustrations of the stations in the Holy Land.[4]During the 15th and 16th centuries the Franciscans began to build a series of outdoor shrines in Europe to duplicate their counterparts in the Holy Land. The number of stations varied between seven and thirty seven was common. These were usually placed, often in small buildings, along the approach to a church, as in a set of 1490 by Adam Kraft, leading to the Johanneskirche in Nuremberg.[5] A number of rural examples were established as attractions in their own right, usually on attractive wooded hills. These include the Sacro Monte di Domodossola (1657) and Sacro Monte di Belmonte (1712), and form part of the Sacri Monti of Piedmont and Lombardy World Heritage Site, together with other examples on different devotional themes. In these the sculptures are often approaching life-size and very elaborate. In 1686, in answer to their petition, Pope Innocent XI granted to the Franciscans the right to erect stations within their churches. In 1731, Pope Clem
Can those who disagree show me where in the Bible Veronica is mentioned please ?
There is No Veronica in the Bible... Some stations in the way of the cross are unscriptural

Went through the passion , saw the stations of the Cross, reflected on the MIRA RD,passion of Christ then relected in the Bible...But no where in the bible is Veronica mentioned nor the Veil in any of the gospels. Nor that ststion of the cross. Shocking.......Wonder where this came from ?
Hey Prabhu tumko kya ho gaya? First ask this question with your parentsAre u belongs to Born again group?
Mr Prabhu,In several regions of Christendom there is honored under this name a pious matron of Jerusalem who, during the Passion of Christ, as one of the holy women who accompanied Him to Calvary, offered Him a towel on which he left the imprint of His face. She went to Rome, bringing with her this image of Christ, which was long exposed to public veneration. To her likewise are traced other relics of the Blessed Virgin venerated in several churches of the West. The belief in the existence of authentic images of Christ is connected with the old legend of Abgar of Edessa and the apocryphal writing known as the "Mors Pilati". To distinguish at Rome the oldest and best known of these images it was called vera icon (true image), which ordinary language soon made veronica. It is thus designated in several medieval texts mentioned by the Bollandists (e.g. an old Missal of Augsburg has a Mass "De S. Veronica seu Vultus Domini"), and Matthew of Westminster speaks of the imprint of the image of the Savior which is called Veronica: "Effigies Domenici vultus quae Veronica nuncupatur". By degrees, popular imagination mistook this word for the name of a person and attached thereto several legends which vary according to the country.
Thanks Kathy for the nice Cut and Paste which i too read to get to this.Whatever explanation you give does not satisfy as an answer to my question.Also the end part of revelation says you cannot add nor remove.Now is this Biblical or not ?
Mr Prabhu,I have a suggestion,why don't you do your Masters in Theology in order to have a better understanding of the bible.Human beings always do have a choice,I am sure it's beyond your understanding.
Thank you Cathy for doing the research which was very interesting. Thank you Mr. Prabhu for asking the question. We have now all learned a little more.
