The Stations of the Cross is a devotion which commemorates the Passion and death of our Lord Jesus Christ. Each of the stations represents an event which occurred during Jesus' Passion and death at Calvary on Good Friday.
The Stations were originally performed many centuries ago by Christian pilgrims who visited the Holy Land and the sites of Jesus' Passion. Promotion of the devotion to the Stations began in earnest with the Franciscans, who were given custody of the Holy Places in the Holy Land in the 1300s. Countless Christians have all enriched their spiritual lives with this powerful devotion.
