The way of the cross is a significant activity celebrated by the Catholics to commemorate the final hours of Jesus before his crucifixion. This year, the event falls on the 29th<\/sup> of March 2024. Led by Pope Francis, this ceremony is set to take place near the Colosseum at 9: 15 pm with the procession commemorating fourteen stages of Christ\u2019s passion.<\/p>\n

The ceremony will unfold against a backdrop of ancient Roman ruins with touch-lit pathways that create an atmosphere that transports the believers back to the time of Jesus’ crucifixion. As the torches flicker in the night, echoes of prayers will be heard in the historic streets of Rome.<\/p>\n

However, the ceremony does not stop at the Colosseum. It proceeds to the historic Palatine Hill. Along the way, the faithful will make fourteen stops with Pope the leading the procession and offering meditations at each stop. The Pope will be sharing the reflections of Christ\u2019s journey to Calvary and impacting blessings to the faithful.<\/p>\n

This event will offer pilgrims and visitors an opportunity to immerse themselves in a blend of tradition, history, and faith.<\/p>\n

If you are taking a trip to Rome, don’t miss out on this opportunity of life to witness the Way of the Cross led by Pope Francis.<\/p>\n
