Etymology: < station n. + of prep. + the adj. + cross n.

Each of a set series of images or pictures representing successive incidents of Jesus's Passion from his condemnation to his burial, placed around the walls of a church or occasionally in the open air (esp. along the route to a place of pilgrimage). Also: each of a set of prayers, meditations, etc., performed at each station in turn, esp. as a devotion during Lent. Usually in plural. Cf. station n. 19b, Way of the Cross n..The number of Stations of the Cross formerly varied in different places, but is now prescribed as fourteen. See e.g. A. Ball Encycl.
