Information per station
#1 – Jesus is Condemned to Death (Ecce Homo by Antonio Ciseri) Pontius Pilate condemns Jesus to crucifixion despite finding no guilt in Him. The crowd demands His death, beginning the final journey toward Calvary.
#2 – Jesus Takes Up His Cross (Jesus Carrying the Cross by El Greco) Jesus accepts the heavy wooden cross upon His shoulders. In obedience and sacrifice, He begins the painful path to His execution.
#3 – Jesus Falls the First Time (Jesus Falls by Charles Le Brun) Weakened by suffering, Jesus collapses under the weight of the cross for the first time. Despite exhaustion and pain, He rises and continues forward.
#4 – Jesus Meets His Mother (Christ Bearing the Cross by Murillo) Along the road to Calvary, Jesus meets His mother Mary. Their sorrowful exchange reflects deep love, grief, and compassion during His suffering.
#5 – Simon of Cyrene Helps Carry the Cross (Christ Carrying the Cross by Titian) Unable to continue alone, Jesus receives help from Simon of Cyrene, who is ordered to carry the cross beside Him. The moment symbolizes shared burden and human compassion.
#6 – Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus (St Veronica with Veil by M. Preti) Moved by mercy, Veronica steps forward to wipe the face of Jesus. Tradition says His image was left upon the cloth as a sign of His suffering.
#7 – Jesus Falls the Second Time (Jesus Falls by Veronese) As the journey grows more difficult, Jesus falls again beneath the weight of the cross. His repeated struggle reveals the physical agony endured on the road to Calvary.
#8 – Jesus Meets the Women of Jerusalem (Jesus Meets the Women of Jerusalem by Carlo Caliari) A group of women mourns for Jesus as He passes through Jerusalem. He tells them to weep not for Him, but for future suffering to come.
#9 – Jesus Falls the Third Time (Christ Falling on the Way to Calvary by Raphael) Near the place of crucifixion, Jesus falls a third time from exhaustion and pain. Despite complete physical weakness, He rises once more to fulfill His sacrifice.
#10 – Jesus is Stripped of His Garments (No Title by Ponziano Loverini) Before the crucifixion, Jesus is stripped of His clothing before the crowd. The act adds humiliation and suffering before His final moments on the cross.
#11 – Jesus is Nailed to the Cross (Part of the Seven Sorrows of Mary Altar by Albrecht Dürer) Jesus is nailed to the wooden cross through His hands and feet. The crucifixion marks the ultimate moment of suffering and sacrifice.
#12 – Jesus Dies on the Cross (Crucifixion by Diego Velázquez) After hours of agony, Jesus dies upon the cross at Calvary. His death is remembered as the ultimate act of redemption and love.
#13 – Jesus is Taken Down from the Cross (The Deposition by Peter Paul Rubens) The body of Jesus is carefully removed from the cross by His followers. Mary and the disciples mourn His death in sorrow and silence.
#14 – Jesus is Laid in the Tomb (La Deposizione di Cristo by Caravaggio) Jesus is placed within the tomb before the entrance is sealed. The burial marks the end of the Passion and the beginning of the hope of resurrection.
Background information
The Stations of the Cross, also known as the Way of the Cross or Via Crucis, is a Christian devotion recalling fourteen episodes in the Passion of Jesus, from his condemnation to death to his burial. The traditional sequence combines events described in the Gospels with episodes preserved through devotional tradition. Each station provides a focus for prayer and reflection on suffering, compassion, sacrifice and faith.
The practice grew from pilgrimages to Jerusalem, where Christians visited places associated with Jesus’ final journey. As the devotion developed, local representations allowed those unable to travel to the Holy Land to undertake a spiritual pilgrimage within their own communities. The Stations became widely established in churches and other devotional settings. They may be observed throughout the year and are especially associated with Lent and Good Friday.
