Who else acted in the "Stations of the Cross" as a child in school?

[ScreamingMeemie]

I was Mary Magdalene. Darned good at it too...because Jesus was a looker that year. :hi:

[ewagner]

1. Followed the stations

every year for 10 years....then found out that the church was screwing with my mind.....(e.g. "Today we believe this, but we may not believe it tomorrow")

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. Yes. Depending upon the benefits of believing.

I hear ya. :hi:

[flakey_foont]

2. I did a stint

as one of the Apostles,, can't remember which one,,, Bob, i think it was

[ScreamingMeemie]

5. You know, we don't exhault Bob as much as we should. It's always

"Peter this and Peter that..." Sigh...

[texas1928]

13. Yeah and Luke,

Just cause he wrote a book of the bible. JEEZ, you think he wrote the whole thing. :eyes: :P

[DBoon]

3. Does participating in syncronized coughing

at a specific time in the Good Friday service count?

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. You know it only really counts if it was followed up by a visit to the

Principal's (in this case Sister Mary Margaret Concietta Forgetta) office. :hi:

[aintitfunny]

7. Did not act in them, but sat through them

in Catholic school, during lent they would troop us into church and we would go through the Stations of The Cross, complete with incense. Got sick more than once, especially on hot days.

[ScreamingMeemie]

10. Incense and I don't get along.

:hi:

[bettyellen]

8. i got to wipe the face of jesus, as veronica.

not the last time i did veronica either.

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. Did you keep the image?

Imagaine what that would get on ebay? ;)

[bettyellen]

12. the image of a fellow 4th grader...hmm..

[Danmel]

11. Nah- they didn't do those at the Rabbi Harry Halpern Day School

We did however have model Seders and Purim Carnivals!

[dbonds]

14. 3 of my friends did, they played John, Paul, and Ringo

[gauguin57]

15. We lapsed Catholics affectionately refer to it as the Bataan Death March!

Stations had to be the most BORING part of being a young Catholic. Feast of St. Blaise was the weirdest.

[musette_sf]

16. that's the candles and the throat thing

right? (St. Blaise, that is)

This morning I got into singing exceprts from Pergolisi's "Stabat Mater", a piece I did with high school chorus back in the 60s. Such a cheery little ditty, "Stabat Mater dolorosa, juxta crucem lacrymosa, dum pendebat Filius."

(NB: Extremely secular high school in Manhattan, non-Jews definitely in the minority.)

17. One of the biggest sluts in the school

played the Virgin Mary one year. LOL!

I never acted but would've been a mighty good sheep or camel!:)
