Vatican City, Mar 2, 2022 / 10:05 am
The Vatican is inviting Catholics to pray the Stations of the Cross in St. Peter’s Basilica every Friday during Lent.
Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, who is in charge of liturgies and maintenance of the Vatican basilica, said that the prayer, held at 4 p.m. local time, will be accompanied by paintings of the Passion of Christ by the Italian artist Gaetano Previati (1852-1920).

The pieces, created in 1901-1902, depict the stages of Christ’s Passion and death, which are the focus of the popular Lenten devotion known as the Way of the Cross, or Via Crucis.
