Bathed in candlelight, the faithful listen and pray as various people read the events of Jesus on his way to the cross. The Roman Catholic church celebrates Good Friday in Rome, Italy by hosting the Via Crucis or Way of the Cross at the Colosseum. This is a somber event that follows Christ’s journey through the Stations of the Cross. A plenary indulgence is offered to all faithful Catholics who pray through the stations of the Cross.
