This is the first time that Gaetano Previati's “The Passion” has ever been exhibited for popular devotion inside a sacred building.

Every Friday during this Lenten season, pilgrims visiting St. Peter’s Basilica can draw closer to Christ in his Passion by praying before the Stations of the Cross that commemorate the scenes of the Via Dolorosa.
