"The Way of the Cross" Top 5 Page for this destination Cross Tip by Maryimelda

There are three means of doing the way of the cross in Lourdes, but by far the most popular is what is known as the "High Stations". These are fifteen of the most wonderful larger than life size tableaus located on the hill overlooking the Sanctuaries. You can pray the stations privately or join in a group led by a priest which commences at 9am each morning from the gate facing the front of the basilica. Be warned that the way is more than a mile in length and in places very steep. Not for people with mobility problems. These folk would be well advised to pray the "Low Stations" which are situated over the River Garve on the other sde of the santuary from the "High Stations". In bad weather there is a further option in the underground basilica. The stations are made of stained glass and begin in the general area of the organ.
