Early medieval forerunners of the Stations of the Cross had only 7 stations - instead of the 14 common today - and were sometimes also referred to as the "Walk to the Seven Footfalls".
In some places, after Station XIV, the burial of Jesus, another station follows: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. This additional Stations of the Cross extends the view from Good Friday to the Easter hope perspective: Overcoming death and suffering.
