14th Station: Jesus is placed in the tomb

Leader: We praise you, O Christ and we bless you.

All: Because by your holy cross, you have redeemed the world

Reader
Among the architectural wonders of Ethiopia are the magnificent rock churches, hewn out of the mountains, and created to give glory and praise to God. Over many centuries, these rock churches have allowed people to enter more deeply into God’s creation, and to be places of peace, tranquillity and worship. They are filled with images and icons of faith, and they remain for Christians today, symbols of religious conviction, assurance and hope.

Let us pray

Father, may we continue to give you praise and glory. As Jesus was laid in the tomb, may we see in the wonder of your creation the signs and reality of your presence.

All: Suffering for us, you set us free, rising you gave us life. You are the Saviour of the world.
