Publisher's Synopsis
This book is illustrated with the representations in relief of the 14 events singled out for contemplation of the Passion of Christ, usually found along the walls of the nave of Catholic Churches and a painting by El Greco of Christ on the Cross with Mary, John and Mary Magdalene. The Stations of the Cross, or "Via Crucis" (or "Via Dolorosa") as it is called in Latin, is a devotion that consists of meditating on 14 events which took place during the Passion of Christ, from His being condemned to His burial. The Way of the Cross of this eBook includes the method composed by St. Francis of Assisi (1182-1226). The reference to Bible passages and the stanzas of the "Stabat Mater" have been added.
