As my children and I were praying the Stations of the Cross today with C's new SOTC Box, it dawned on me that some parents of other preschoolers may not realize what they have! So, I'm here to explain it to you. Inside the box you will find 14 items. One for each station. These items are meant for your child to hold and look at for each station to better understand/remember what the station is about.
1st Station: Jesus is Condemned to Death (Piece of Twine, like the one wrapped around Jesus' wrists)
2nd Station: Jesus is Made to Carry His Cross (Wooden Cross)
3rd Station: Jesus Falls the First Time (Band-Aid #1)
4th Station: Jesus Meets His Blessed Mother (Blue ribbon, like Mother Mary's veil)
5th Station: Simon of Cyrene Helps Jesus (Wooden Heart, to represent Simon's change of heart)
6th Station: Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus (Piece of cloth w/ face of Jesus)
7th Station: Jesus Falls a Second Time (Band-Aid #2)
8th Station: Women of Jerusalem Cry for Jesus (A Tissue)
9th Station: Jesus Falls a Third Time (Band-Aid #3)
10th Station: Jesus is Stripped of His Garments (Purple Felt)
11th Station: Jesus is Nailed to the Cross (Nails)
12th Station: Jesus Dies on the Cross (Crucifix)
13th Station: Jesus is Taken Down from the Cross (Picture of Pieta)
14th Station: Jesus is Laid in the Tomb (Rock, like the stone placed in front of the tomb)
