The practice of going on pilgrimage dates back to the earliest years of the church. St. jerome, who lived in the Holy Land, writes of the number of christians who came on pilgrimage to visit the places associated with the life and of Jesus. In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, devotion to the passion Christ became common because of the number of former crusaders who erected representations of places they visited in the Holy Land.

When the Francisans began to take care of the Holy Places in the early fourteenth century, they were inspired to promote devotion to these places and to the Passion of Jesus. It is to them that the stations of the Cross, as we know them, can be traced.

Today the practice of making the Stations of the Cross centres on fourteen different representations,(or stations), of Christ on his final journey to Calvary. Each Station involves stopping to contemplate these scenes, accompanied by either silent or spoken meditation and prayer.




One of the best ways to meditate on the Passion of Christ is to follow the Stations of the Cross, also called the Via Crucis or and Via Dolorosa. The Stations constitute a miniature pilgrimage to the holy places in Jerusalem, using a series of pictures representing certain scenes in the Passion of Christ, each corresponding to a particular incident, or the special form of devotion connected with such representations. The origin of the devotion may be traced to the early days of the Catholic Church.

Popular Catholic singer Dana has taken this powerful devotion and with partner Fr. Kevin Scallon, C.M., leads us in prayer and meditation on the last moments of Jesus in her new CD The Stations of the Cross. Dana’s always beautiful voice captures the very essence of our Lord’s passion. Fr. Scallon’s tender and gentle voice guides us through each step of the way of the Cross. If you enjoyed their shared collaboration on the CD The Rosary, you will find joy in The Stations of the Cross, as well.
