The Tenth Station
Jesus Is Crucified
Bible Reading
They brought him to the place of Golgotha (which is translated Place of the Skull). They gave him wine drugged with Myrrh, but he did not take it. Then they crucified him and divided his garments by casting lots for them to see what each should take. Mark 15:22-24
Meditation
First they drove nails through his hands and feet. Then they raised him on the cross, where he hung painfully for three hours - a demonstration of the depth of his love for us. For Christians this is the supreme symbol of our faith because it was here that Jesus died and brought God’s forgiveness to us all.
Fifth Hymn
Meekness and majesty (465)
