Best Answer

The actual events that are the Stations began when Jesus was sentenced to death by Pontius Pilate. The tradition of celebrating the Stations of the Cross began after Jesus' death, when people started walking his journey to Golgotha. Markers were then set up in the town at the places where the Stations took place. We celebrate the stations in churches now to remember what Jesus went through.

The first reports of a pilgrimage route corresponding to Biblical events of Christ's crucifixion dates from the Byzantine era, but they weren't well defined as actual "stations" of Jesus' "Way of Suffering" (Via Dolorosa). Official tours tracing the footsteps of Christ from the House of Pilate to Golgotha were first introduced by Franciscan monks c.1517.
