The People of the Way of the Cross: Walking with Jesus Though the Eyes of 14 Witnesses

But what was it really like to be there? How would it look, sound, and feel if you were part of the crowd along that narrow, walled-in pathway in first-century Jerusalem? In fourteen penetrating narrative, Marci Alborghetti imagines the stories behind the people who witnessed Jesus' Way of the Cross. Some are historical, scriptural, or traditional figures, such as Pilate, Nicodemus, Veronica, and Dismas. Others are unnamed and anonymous, but equally compelling. Through their stories-and through the prayers, action suggestions, and reflection questions-we too have a powerful opportunity to enter into our Lord's Passion, to connect our lives to his, and to experience for ourselves his loving, transformative gaze.
