Stations of the Cross 06

In the Sixth Station, Veronica bravely steps forward from the crowd to wipe the blood and sweat from Jesus’ face. The Stations of the Cross originated during the Crusades when pilgrims retraced Christ’s steps through Jerusalem. As travel became dangerous, faithful Christians reproduced these sacred journeys in Europe with outdoor markers. By the 18th century, Stations were placed inside churches, offering a spiritual pilgrimage through Christ’s Passion. This coloring page is part of that long-standing tradition, helping the faithful reflect on Jesus’ suffering and love.
