• Stations of the Cross
  “Using Scripture and traditions concerning the death of our Lord, and some legends, the Stations went through many variations, at one time numbering more than three dozen separate incidents- or stations.” However, “In 1731, about four hundred years after the way of the cross became popular, Pope Clement XII Corsini fixed the number of stations at fourteen…” Even though the number of stations was fixed at fourteen, which fourteen stations should be used is not fixed. The Stations of the Cross almost seem to change with the times to reflect the needs of God’s people. The common goal they share is that they serve as a guide for all Christians to help prepare them to enter the Paschal Mystery and to walk with Jesus in His last hours.
