Lewes Community spent Good Friday in Lewes visiting the Stations of the Cross through the historic district in Lewes. It is a narration of the final hours in the life of Jesus on earth. The Stations of the Cross serve as a reminder of the humble manner in which Jesus was willing to set aside privilege of in order to provide a path to salvation.
