Saint Patrick's Church
Stations of the Cross
…are a series of fourteen pictures or carvings portraying incidents in
Christ's
journey from his condemnation by Pilate to his being laid in the tomb.
They are arranged around the inside walls of churches and chapels, but are also to be found in other
settings such as along wooded paths near shrines.
In the devotion of the Stations, an individual or group passes from station to station
reciting prayers and meditating on each incident, or at least on the
passion of Christ in general.
It is thought that the Stations originated as a way that those unable to travel might
follow the pilgrimage route in Jerusalem, the 'Via Dolorosa'.”
