∙ 11y agoThe classic Stations of the Cross only contain fourteen stations. Some people in the post-Vatican II Church thought that ending with Our Blessed Lord's burial was too depressing so they added a fifteenth station: the Resurrection, however, this is not really part of the Stations of the Cross, it is the celebration of Easter, whereas the Stations of the Cross are focused on what led up to Easter: the passion and death of Our Blessed Lord.

∙ 11y agoThere are fourteen Stations of the Cross, modern liturgists in some cases have tried to add a fifteenth Station to depict the resurrection of Christ, but as this is basically a Lenten meditation, a fifteenth station is neither historically correct nor liturgically sound.
