The Stations of the Cross / The Via Crucis

The Stations of the Cross: A Journey of Faith and Reflection
What are the Stations of the Cross? The Stations of the Cross, also called the Via Dolorosa, is a devotional act that commemorates the Passion of Christ through fourteen stations. These stations represent different stages Jesus experienced from His sentencing to His crucifixion and, finally, His burial. While traditionally prayed during Lent, especially on Fridays, this devotion is a powerful spiritual exercise that can be practiced throughout the year. By meditating on Christ’s suffering regularly, we deepen our love for Him and strengthen our faith in His redemptive sacrifice.
