Free Printable Stations of the Cross Chart

About these stations of the cross handouts

The Stations of the Cross are a devotion of fourteen stops that follow the last hours of Jesus, from the sentence of death to the tomb. Catholic parishes pray them in church on Fridays in Lent, and many schools walk them as a class during the same season. Having the fourteen in order on one page helps students follow along without a booklet.

This chart lists the traditional stations by number and title, each with a simple cross symbol. It uses type and symbols only and does not depict any figure from the story. The wording of each station title varies slightly between booklets, so teachers should compare the list with the text their parish uses. The chart does not include the prayers or reflections that are prayed at each station.

Use the chart as a program for a class Stations service, as a take-home sheet for families, or as a review page after the unit. Students can take turns reading the station titles aloud while the class moves around the room or the church. The chart carries a note that it has not been independently checked against a primary source, so confirm the list with your parish before you use it for prayer.

How to use them

1. Print one chart per student or hang a large copy at the front of the room.
2. Read the title of each station aloud and pause for a moment of silence.
3. Assign a station to each student or small group to read.
4. Move to the next station in order while the class follows on their sheets.
5. Send the chart home so families can pray the stations together in Lent.

Classroom tips

• Practice the order with the class a week early so the service runs smoothly.
• Assign the readers ahead of time and give them their station numbers on a card.
• If your parish uses different station titles, write them over the chart in pen before you copy it.
• Let students make a simple symbol card for each station using shapes and colors.

Notes on this page
