"The Way of the Cross"

"The Way of the Cross" is a Christian devotion that reflects on the suffering and death of Jesus Christ. It involves meditative prayers and, often, walking a series of 14 stations that depict key events from Jesus’ trial, crucifixion, and death. The purpose is to help believers contemplate Christ’s sacrifice, deepen their faith, and find spiritual connection through these reflections. Traditionally observed during Lent and especially on Good Friday, it encourages personal reflection on sacrifice, compassion, and the hope of redemption.
