    The so-called "Walk to the Seven Falls" is an early precursor to today's Stations of the Cross. Such a walk was not only undertaken during Lent, but depending on local customs it was also often customary to pray for the deceased.
    In contrast to their medieval counterparts, modern Stations of the Cross usually have 14, and in some places 15, stations.
