Stations of the Cross in a minute

The Stations of the Cross, also known as the Way of the Cross or Via Crucis, are a series of 14 events or stations that depict the final moments of Jesus Christ's life. These stations represent key moments from Jesus' condemnation to His crucifixion and burial. They serve as a devotional practice for Catholics and Christians to reflect on and commemorate the Passion of Christ.

The traditional 14 Stations of the Cross are as follows:

Jesus is condemned to death.
Jesus takes up His cross.
Jesus falls the first time.
Jesus meets His mother, Mary.
Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus carry the cross.
Veronica wipes the face of Jesus.
Jesus falls the second time.
Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem.
Jesus falls the third time.
Jesus is stripped of His garments.
Jesus is nailed to the cross.
Jesus dies on the cross.
Jesus is taken down from the cross (Deposition or Pieta).
Jesus is laid in the tomb.

These stations are typically represented through visual artwork, sculptures, or depicted in churches as stations for prayer and reflection. Many Christians also participate in prayer services or processions during Lent, especially on Good Friday, to walk the Stations of the Cross and meditate on the profound sacrifice and love of Christ.
