The Way of the Cross is the most heavily indulgenced devotion in the Catholic Church; it is a devotion reputed to have been originated by Our Lady herself, who, legend has it, set up the original Way of the Cross in her backyard at Ephesus. Moreover, the great Saints all aver that meditation on the Passion and death of Jesus is the most fruitful that one can engage in.
We consider this the best Way of the Cross we have ever seen. Traditional, edifying pictures. The Stabat Mater is given in Latin and English.
Saint Francis of Assisi was an Italian Catholic friar and preacher. He is known as the patron saint of animals and for his love of the Eucharist, for his sorrow during the Stations of the Cross, and for the creation of the Christmas Nativity Scene. He founded the Order of Friars Minor (authorized by Pope Innocent III in 1210), the Order of St. Clare, and the Third Order of Saint Francis after abandoning his family's life of wealth for a life of poverty. In 1224, he received the stigmata, making him the first-known person to bear the wounds of Christ. He died on the evening of October 3, 1226, during a reading of Psalm 142, at his request. He was proclaimed a saint on July 16, 1228 by Pope Gregory IX.
