Center of Jesus the Lord Upcoming Events:

STATIONS OF THE CROSS

No doubt, the Blessed Mother and the Apostles

held the sites of our Lord’s sorrowful passion

in esteem. We might even think of the Blessed

Virgin going to visit the places where she met

Christ on the way to Calvary and even praying

at the very hill of our redemption. Early

Christians in the Holy Land remained devoted

to these various stations. The stairs and prae-

torium where Christ was tried by Pontius Pi-

late was well known as was the place of our

Lord’s Crucifixion and Resurrection. Pilgrims

coming from the West desired to see these

places and desired to know how Christ trav-

eled from the place of His unjust condemna-

tion to His Crucifixion – the Via Dolorosa or

Via Sacra. The Stations of the Cross, then,

have their origin in the actual locations in Je-

rusalem. Pilgrims wishing to bring this mov-

ing devotion home with them. In the 400s,

Saint Petronius erected a series of chapels ded-

icated to the important shrines of Jerusalem in

Bologna, Italy. During the Crusades, when pil-

grimages and travels to the Holy Land re-

sumed, there was a renewed interest among

Europeans in the Via Sacra. By the 11th centu-

ry, pilgrims had popularized the devotion. The

Franciscans, who were granted administration

of the Christian holy places in Jerusalem in

1342, increased its popularity. In the 1400s, the

Stations of the Cross became extremely popu-

lar in Europe; however, they were usually an

series of outdoor shrines. In 1686, Pope Inno-

cent XI granted to the Franciscans the right to

erect Stations of the Cross within their church-

es. It was only as late as 1862 that the right to

erect the Stations of the Cross without a Fran-

ciscan was extended to bishops throughout the

Catholic Church.**
