English: Last Station of the Cross in the Saint Mary Rawaseneng Prayer Garden, in the Monastery of Saint Mary Rawaseneng complex, Temanggung, Indonesia.
context_page_description: The Stations of the Cross or the Way of the Cross, also known as the Way of Sorrows or the Via Crucis, refers to a series of images depicting Jesus Christ on the day of his crucifixion and accompanying prayers. The stations grew out of imitations of Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem which is believed to be the actual path Jesus walked to Mount Calvary. The object of the stations is to help the Christian faithful to make a spiritual pilgrimage through contemplation of the Passion of Christ. It has become one of the most popular devotions and the stations can be found in many Western Christian churches, including Anglican, Lutheran, Methodist, and Roman Catholic.
  Commonly, a series of 14 images will be arranged in numbered order along a path and the faithful travel from image to image, in order, stopping at each station to say the selected prayers and reflections. This will be done individually or in a procession most commonly during Lent, especially on Good Friday, in a spirit of reparation for the sufferings and insults that Jesus endured during his passion.
  The style, form, and placement of the stations vary widely.
context_section_description: The early set of seven scenes was usually numbers 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 11 and 14 from the list below. The standard set from the 17th to 20th centuries has consisted of 14 pictures or sculptures depicting the following scenes:
  Jesus is condemned to death
  Jesus takes up his Cross
  Jesus falls for the first time
  Jesus meets his Mother
  Simon of Cyrene helps Jesus carry the Cross
  Veronica wipes the face of Jesus
  Jesus falls for the second time
  Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem
  Jesus falls for the third time
  Jesus is stripped of his garments (sometimes called the "Division of Robes")
  Jesus is nailed to the Cross
  Jesus dies on the Cross
  Jesus is taken down from the Cross
  Jesus is laid in the tomb
  Although not traditionally part of the Stations, the Resurrection of Jesus is sometimes included as an unofficial fifteenth station. One very different version, called the Via Lucis ("Way of Light"), comprising the Fourteen "Stations of Light" or "Stations of the Resurrection", starts Jesus rising from the dead and ends with Pentecost.
