The Stations of the Cross are a 14-step Catholic devotion that commemorates Jesus Christ’s last day on Earth as a man. The 14 devotions, or stations, focus on specific events of His last day, beginning with His condemnation. The stations are commonly used as a mini pilgrimage, where at each station, the individual recalls and meditates on a specific event from Christ’s last day.
We adore you O Christ and we bless You…
Because by your Holy Cross you have redeemed the world…
