This ends The Way of the Cross Series 1. I hope you have enjoyed this series as much as I have. I just loved the character of the Stations of the Cross of the St. John Catholic Church in Fryburg Ohio. The church holds a Homecoming every year and will be selling these as part of their fundraiser this year. The Way of the Cross Series 2 starts in August and will feature the Stations of the Cross from the St. Michael Catholic Church in Ft. Loramie, Ohio.
