Sixth Station: Jesus is Scourged and Crowned with Thorns

Then Pilate took Jesus and had him scourged. And the soldiers wove a crown out of thorns and placed it on his head, and clothed him in a purple cloak, and they came to him and said,"Hail, King of the Jews!" And they struck him repeatedly. John 19: 1-3

The following stations of the cross are based on those celebrated by Pope John Paul II on Good Friday 1991. They are presented here as an alternative to the traditional stations1 and as a way of reflecting more deeply on the Scriptural accounts of Christ's passion.

First Station: Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane

Second Station: Jesus, Betrayed by Judas, is Arrested
Third Station: Jesus is Condemned by the Sanhedrin
Fourth Station: Jesus is Denied by Peter
Fifth Station: Jesus is Judged by Pilate
Sixth Station: Jesus is Scourged and Crowned with Thorns
Seventh Station: Jesus Bears the Cross
Eighth Station: Jesus is Helped by Simon the Cyrenian to Carry the Cross
Ninth Station: Jesus Meets the Women of Jerusalem
Tenth Station: Jesus is Crucified
Eleventh Station: Jesus Promises His Kingdom to the Good Thief
Twelfth Station: Jesus Speaks to His Mother and the Disciple
Thirteenth Station: Jesus Dies on the Cross
Fourteenth Station: Jesus is Placed in the Tomb


Every year during Lent we read scripture and walk through the stations of the cross together as a way to remind ourselves of the path Jesus willing walked for us and the path that we walk daily with Him. Here in CZ near our home is a beautiful 6 km walk with stations of the cross. It is very old and neat to see. Last year we went and at each station read from the Bible and prayed. Then we had a nice picnic in the "garden of Gethsemane".

I just found these stations of the cross today, used by Pope John Paul II...they correspond to the stations in Řimov. I like these better because many of the other traditional ones don't encompass many of the rich stories from scripture that help us to get a sense of the passion. i found these at
