Way of the Cross

The Stations of the Cross, also known as the Way of the Cross, are a series of images depicting Jesus Christ's crucifixion and accompanying prayers. The stations originated from the pilgrimage to Jerusalem and a desire to reproduce the Via Dolorosa, with the earliest recorded use of the word "stations" dating back to the 15th century. The stations are typically arranged in numbered order along a path, where worshippers stop to say prayers and engage in reflections associated with each station, with the most common time being during Lent, especially on Good Friday.learn more on wikipedia
