The Way of Light is the Eastertide complement to the Way of the Cross. Just as the Way of the Cross depicts the stations (moments or scenes) leading to the cross, the Way of Light depicts resurrection appearances. The Way of Light is the leg of the journey between disorientation and reorientation. As a church, we explore Jesus’ life anew every year. As we do this, we invite Jesus to carve into our souls the truth that “through the Cross (one comes) to the light.” We learn to wait expectantly, anticipating opportunities to experience now (and one day fully arrive at) humanity’s true end: liberation, joy and peace. We become resurrection people, formed by joy, hope, feasting, and celebration.

Our Easter devotional commissioned authors and artists to create stations of the resurrection. They contributed devotional meditations and artwork, which you can preview in this book and experience more fully by visiting the gallery wall in the church building. As you do, join us in expressing gratitude to these 20 individuals for their skill and love for our church. It is our collective hope that these stations will inspire us to see the central event of our faith — the resurrection — with new eyes. By extension, to see the world with new hope. Like the disciples, we invite you to come along and let the Lord shine his light on us.
