Stations of the Cross
A traditional set of fourteen stations recalls Christ's Passion and death. Other approved devotional forms also exist.
Key points
- The stations invite worshippers to accompany Christ in prayer.
- Look for: A sequence of numbered crosses or images.
- An illustrative Roman Catholic parish in the Latin rite, assembled for study rather than surveyed from a single building. Plans, devotional furnishings, music, and the locations of the font and tabernacle vary; Eastern Catholic churches have other traditions. Sizes, materials, and spacing are illustrative, and displayed vessels represent different moments of worship.
