Via Lucis

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Via Lucis ( Latin via lucis "path of light", "light path") is a relatively new form of prayer in the Roman Catholic Church . It is modeled after the Way of the Cross (Via Crucis) designed and has events around Easter the subject. The light path was created in the 1990s around the Salesians of Don Bosco .
