The stations of the cross
The Stations of the Cross are actually a private devotion, although sometimes done together in a group in the Church. As a private devotion there is no set ritual to them.

The recipients of the Episcopal service cross are individuals who have demonstrated exceptional service and dedication to the Episcopal Church and its ministries. This may include clergy, lay leaders, volunteers, or anyone who has made a significant impact on the church and its mission. The cross is often awarded as a token of appreciation and recognition for their contributions.
It is used to carry out church business such as mass, stations of the cross and all other services normally associated with and carried out in a church, however a church is normally called chapel.
The Stations of the Cross may be prayed anytime and anywhere. However, to obtain the indulgence, one should make them before a legitimately erected set of stations, which may always be found in any Catholic Church. There is usually a common service of praying the Stations on Fridays during Lent.
