Available in English and Spanish.In the Roman Catholic Church, Pope John Paul II directed an annual public prayer of the Stations of the Cross at the Roman Colosseum on Good Friday. Originally, the Pope himself carried the cross from station to station, but in his last years when age and infirmity limited his strength, John Paul presided over the celebration from a stage on the Palatine Hill, while others carried the cross. Just days prior to his death in 2005, Pope John Paul II observed the Stations of the Cross from his private chapel in the Vatican. Each year a different person is invited to write the meditation texts for the Stations.FEATURES:• Languages English and Spanish.• Choose from five Themes (different Pictures and Meditations) - Vatican Via Crucis 2006 - Vatican Via Crucis 2008 - Vatican Via Crucis 2009 - Vatican Via Crucis 2010 - Vatican Via Crucis 2011• Variable Text Size for easy reading.• Big Pictures (double tap on pictures to enlarge).Stations of the Cross (or Way of the Cross; in Latin, Via Crucis; also called the Via Dolorosa or Way of Sorrows, or simply, The Way) refers to the depiction of the final hours (or Passion) of Jesus, and the devotion commemorating the Passion.
