Travelling Crucifix

That sounds like a beautiful tradition! A great way to bring the community together during Lent.

They used to do this in our parish. Possibly they still do.

Yes, we used to have a similar tradition in our hometown, but in our case, it was the Blessed Virgin Mary who was brought from house to house. The image would stay with us for a week, and during that time, we were expected to pray to her daily before she moved to the next assigned household. Before the image was transferred, the next family in line would visit our home, and we would pray together before they took the image to their house. This cycle continued, ensuring that each household had its turn to host and honor the Blessed Virgin Mary. However, this tradition was something we practiced many years ago in the province where I grew up. Now that I live in the city, I don’t see it being done as often, if at all. It seems that such customs have faded in urban areas, perhaps due to the fast-paced lifestyle or changing priorities of people in the metropolis.

We've also experienced that, but most of the time, it's the Blessed Virgin Mary being brought from house to house. It stays in each home for a day or two, with a maximum of three days. Prayers are held when the statue is brought into the house and again when it is taken to the next home. Now that Lent is approaching, there will surely be a Way of the Cross. Each house will be assigned a station, and the group will go from one house to another, completing the entire Way of the Cross.
