The Fifteenth Station: The Resurrection. In the early centuries of the Church, pilgrims made a penitential journey to Jerusalem to walk and pray the Stations of the Cross, known as the “via dolorosa” (the way of sorrow). In some contemporary Stations of the Cross, a fifteenth station has been added to commemorate the Resurrection of the Lord.
The Stations of the Cross are also known as "The Way of the Cross" or Via Crucis in Latin.
The devotion originated with pilgrims in the Holy Land who retraced Jesus' final steps.
