I have now visited all 14 of the Stations.

Perhaps the most moving are at the Salvation Army HQ next to the Millenium
bridge and St Stephen Wallbrook. Marcin Mazur tells me that the Cardinal and
Bishop of London will lead a pilgrimage from the Salvation Army HQ at 2 p.m.
this coming Wednesday in the middle of Holy Week. An added bonus the
Wallace collection has a little booklet The Crucifixion in art. The National
gallery Bassano is not in room 9. The Botticini altarpiece is lovely and still
in the Sunley room.
Another exhibition which all should visit is the stations
downstairs at St Martin’s in the Fields. You can also see these moving
photographs of refugees in the Christianity magazine which is being given away
free this month. See another email just sent.
Happy Easter

This Easter, Premier Christianity has embarked on a
dramatic new project called The Stations.
The Stations is a photography
project created in collaboration with creative director, Marksteen Adamson,
reflecting on the Stations of the Cross and the suffering of Jesus through
images and stories of today's refugees.
The traditional ‘stations of the cross’ are a series of 14
images depicting the stages of Christ’s journey on Good Friday. This unique
photographic study is a parallel journey retold through the lives and
stories of the refugees Marksteen met and befriended in Calais, Lebanon and
the UK.

There
is also a free exhibition at St Martin-in-the-Fields in
London until 10th April. We encourage you to visit this spectacular display
of The Stations and bring along your copy of Premier Christianity as a
guide.
