The Stations of the Cross devotion involves visiting and praying in front of each of the 14 stations and meditating on the Passion of Christ. This devotion is especially common during Lent and on Fridays throughout the year, in commemoration of Christ’s Crucifixion on Good Friday. The Stations of the Cross is an important devotional practice in the Roman Catholic, Anglican, and Lutheran traditions.
