Via Crucis  -  Way of the cross

It is a religious rite of the Catholic Church. It recalls the various moments of the Passion of Jesus Christ, especially the ascent to Mount Golgotha on which he was crucified. This ceremonial was born at the end of the thirteenth century to allow the faithful, who could not go to the Holy Land, to commemorate the death of Jesus. Tradition required, when possible, to make a pilgrimage to Israel to retrace the various stages, places and events performed by Christ during his earthly life.
