Stations of the Cross

 
 
  The Stations of the Cross are used by Catholics to remember the suffering and death of Jesus Christ on Good Friday. Each station reminds us of an event in his journey from Pilate's condemning Him to death until his dead body is laid in the tomb to await His resurrection on the third day.
