The Way of the Cross, or "Via Crucis" (or "Via Dolorosa") as it is called in Latin, is a devotion that consists of meditating on 14 events which took place during the Passion of Christ, from His being condemned to His burial.
The Way of the Cross of this eBook includes the meditations composed by St. Francis of Assisi (1182-1226). The reference to Bible passages and the stanzas of the "Stabat Mater" have been added.
The events, called stations, are illustrated with their representations, as usually found along the walls of the nave of Catholic Churches, for contemplating the Passion of Christ.
The concluding prayer is illustrated with a painting by El Greco of Christ on the Cross with Mary, John and Mary Magdalene.
