The Way of the Cross in Rome – A Devotional Reflection
The Via Crucis, or Way of the Cross, is a cornerstone of Catholic devotion, honoring Christ’s Passion and His journey to Calvary. Each Good Friday, the Pope leads the Stations of the Cross at the Colosseum in Rome, where pilgrims gather to walk in prayer and contemplation.
