Via Crucis, or the "Way of the Cross," is a Christian tradition that commemorates the events of Good Friday, specifically the journey of Jesus Christ as he carries his cross to his crucifixion. This practice typically involves a series of 14 stations, each representing a significant moment from Jesus' suffering, beginning with his condemnation and ending with his burial. Participants often walk from station to station, reflecting on the meaning of each event. The stations of the cross can be found in many churches and are often depicted through images or sculptures, allowing the faithful to meditate on the passion of Christ and the significance of sacrifice.
