The Way of the Cross is an ancient and still used prayer of the Roman Catholic Church, in which the believer contemplates the suffering of Jesus Christ, usually concretized in the various stops of His Way of the Cross from Pilate's house to Mount Golgotha along the Via Dolorosa.
She usually prays during Lent, and many saints have prayed very often.
The origins of the Stations of the Cross go back to the ancient pilgrimages to Jerusalem. In the 15th and 16th centuries, the Franciscans began to build the Stations of the Cross in Europe.
