Stations of the Cross

St. Matthews Catholic Church in  Winter Haven, Florida, has a very nice area at the side of the church that is focused on the Stations of the Cross.  It is an outdoor area of reflection and prayer.  As you enter, you will come to Station I.  From there you proceed counter-clockwise around the garden, in order of the Stations.
