A prayer in 14 stations following Jesus’ path to the crucifixion; Catholic churches have 14 images on their walls.
Calea Crucii se face mai ales vinerea în Postul Paștelui și în Vinerea Mare. Credincioșii se opresc la fiecare din cele 14 imagini (de la condamnarea lui Isus până la punerea în mormânt), cu rugăciuni și cântări. Unele locuri de pelerinaj au Calea Crucii în aer liber, pe un deal.
