Members of Midcoast youth ministry and Catholic school students will present Living Stations of the Cross in the lead up to Easter Sunday on April 1.

The Stations of the Cross began as the practice of pious pilgrims traveling to Jerusalem to retrace the final journey of Jesus Christ to Calvary. They have been prayed for centuries, allowing Christians who are unable to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land to spiritually follow in the steps that Jesus took from his arrest and judgment to his crucifixion, death, and burial.

Midcoast youth presentations will take place in:

AUBURN — students at Saint Dominic Academy will present the Living Stations of the Cross at the school’s Auburn Campus, located on 121 Gracelawn Ave., at 11 a.m. on Good Friday, March 30

BRUNSWICK — students at St. John’s Catholic School will present the Living Stations of the Cross at St. John the Baptist Church, located on 37 Pleasant St., at 10 a.m. on Good Friday, March 30

FREEPORT— youth from the Parish of the Holy Eucharist will present the Living Stations of the Cross at St. Jude Church, located at 134 Main St., at 5:30 p.m. Friday, March 23

There also will be presentations in Augusta, Bangor, Gray, Pittsfield, Portland, Sanford, Waterville and Wells.
