The Way of the Cross is a devotional activity that consists of prayer to Jesus, reflection, and meditation. It is used by the Roman Catholic Church as a way of experiencing the Passion of Christ, which is regarded as the supreme manifestation of God’s love for humanity. It is also used in the Holy Week to recall the past events of the Passion and to get into the right frame of mind for the days to come. It is one of the best-known Catholic devotional traditions that is used in the masses and is considered a hallmark of the Catholic faith.

It is a 14-station rosary-based devotional.
