The stations of the cross commemorate the passion of Jesus, from his condemnation by Pilate to his burial in the tomb. The stations are not entirely accurate, because it is very likely he fell more than three times, but they give us a general idea of what the march to Golgotha and his death were like. After he was condemned he was whipped and beat to the point of death, then forced to carry a heavy beam of the cross up a hill to Golgotha, the place of the skull. He was then set there to suffocate due to the lack of strength to lift himself up to breathe. During all this the soldiers were gambling off his clothes and making fun of him. When he finally died, he was taken down by his Apostle John and his mother Mary, then laid in a freshly made tomb Joseph of Arimathea was going to use for himself, but donated to it Jesus.
