thatresourcesite.com- Stations of the Cross Book Study
Use this book activity to help children remember the passion of our Lord's death in the Stations of the Cross. This is a very gentle approach to this most important event. Young tender hearts often have trouble viewing our Lord in suffering. This project uses the wonderful book "The Stations of the Cross" by Fr. Lawrence Lovasik as its base. I have used this project with only two children as well as in a CCD or Religious Ed. classroom setting and it is always well received. Color or black and white printables available.
