Journey to the Cross and Beyond - Stations around Lindisfarne: A Guided Zoom Experience with Mary & Mark Fleeson

Step beyond the pages and join Mary Fleeson, author and artist of The Journey to the Cross and Beyond, together with her husband Mark, for a live Zoom event that brings the Stations of the Cross to life in a deeply reflective and visually rich way.

In this immersive online gathering, Mary and Mark will lead you through the final stages of Jesus’s earthly journey, as portrayed in the artwork and writings inspired by the landscape and spirit of Holy Island, Northumberland. Drawing from her book, this experience weaves together image, scripture, poetry and prayer into a moving journey of contemplation and faith with each section being narrated by Mary and Mark.

The Stations of the Cross are a series of images that tell the story of the events leading up to, and sometimes including, the resurrection. The images are often presented alongside prayers and meditations and are intended to provide a preparation for Easter Day.

In the book, Mary writes "Meditating on the Stations can be an amazing journey of discovery, an opportunity to journey to the foot of the cross, to be challenged by the sacrifice and reassured by the resurrection. The Stations in this book will, I hope, guide and help you in that journey, they follow the ‘Scriptural Way of the Cross’ developed by Pope John Paul ll, with the addition of the resurrection (He is Risen) and are set around the village of Lindisfarne, Northumbria, UK. I have chosen to place this ancient and terrible journey around my home village but the meditations and prayers included could be used anywhere (you could find places around your own house or town or garden)."

What to Expect

Over a couple of hours, you will be led though the events from Gethsemane to the Resurrection, viewing them in places on the Holy Island of Lindisfarne. Each Station contains a Bible reading, a meditation and prayer each creating space for stillness, response and deeper connection.

Who This Is For

This event is open to anyone seeking a prayerful encounter with the story of the Cross — whether as part of Holy Week preparation, a church group gathering, or personal spiritual renewal. No prior study is required; simply come with openness and a willingness to reflect.
