The Way of the Cross recreates in the memory of the faithful the main moments of the Savior's sufferings. Those praying in union with the grieving Mother of God mentally accompany the Savior to Golgotha, making 14 stands, reflecting on His agony on the cross and glorifying His redemptive deed. Already in the first centuries of the Christian era in Jerusalem from different countries began to rush pilgrims who wanted to realize more clearly the salvific suffering of Christ. Making ...

During Lent, the prayers of the Way of the Cross are recited in the Catholic Church. It is made up of 14 stances that have evolved throughout history.

Our journey of faith is inextricably ...
