The stations are depictions of Christ from His condemnation to death through His crucifixion and burial. Most Roman Catholic churches have the stations depicted in some way inside their church for devotions, but these outdoor stations can be visited by pilgrims at any time. Devotions are prayed year round, particularly on the Fridays of Lent and Good Friday.
