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 praetorium where Christ was tried by Pontius Pilate 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 traveled from the place of His unjust condemnation to His Crucifixion – the Via Dolorosa or
Via Sacra. The Stations of the Cross, then,
have their origin in the actual locations in Jerusalem. Pilgrims wishing to bring this moving devotion home with them. In the 400s,
Saint Petronius erected a series of chapels dedicated to the important shrines of Jerusalem in
Bologna, Italy. During the Crusades, when pilgrimages and travels to the Holy Land resumed, there was a renewed interest among
Europeans in the Via Sacra. By the 11th century, 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 popular in Europe; however, they were usually an
series of outdoor shrines. In 1686, Pope Innocent XI granted to the Franciscans the right to
erect Stations of the Cross within their churches. It was only as late as 1862 that the right to
erect the Stations of the Cross without a Franciscan was extended to bishops throughout the
Catholic Church.**
