The Stations of the Cross

The Stations or Way of the Cross is a devotional prayer which traces the stages of the passion, crucifixion and death of our Lord Jesus Christ. There are now two [2] versions: the Traditional, which includes stations which cannot be found on the Gospels like Veronica's role, and the New version which is more Bible-based, and does not include Veronica's act of wiping the Lord's bloodied face. More information can be read here.
