Via Dolorosa: Stations of the Cross

by Diane Zike

Overview

Via Dolorosa (Lat. “sorrowful way”) or Via Crucis (Lat. “the way of the Cross”) is the path believed to be taken by Jesus from the place of his condemnation by Pilate to Mount Golgotha, the site of his crucifixion, and then to his grave site. Early Christians continued the ancient Jewish practice of pilgrimages to Jerusalem. Out of this practice came the tradition of the Stations of the Cross as a series of commemorative devotions or meditations.
