On Ash Wednesday, February 17, Catholic Church entered period of Lent, fourty days long period of preparation for Easter. What is important about this period of Lent is mediatation on Christ's passion, especially during the devotions of Way of the Cross. The schedule of Way of the Cross in the church of St. James is:
- Fridays: 2 p.m. on the Cross Mountain, and in the church after evening Holy Mass
- Sundays: 10.30 a.m., before central Holy Mass, and after evening Holy Mass at 6 p.m
We have the way of the cross prayed in all our parishes in Herzegovina, two times a week; on Friday before evening mass and Sunday before central parish mass. It was like this since forever it seams to me. Even during hard times when one was not to mention God's name in public.
