✙ 2nd Station of the Cross: Christ accepts the cross
The second station pictures Christ accepting the weight of the cross onto his wounded shoulders. This marked the start of his journey to Golgotha, the hill on which he was to be crucified.
Christ carries his cross (John 19:16-17)
After being sentenced to death, Jesus was ordered to carry his cross to Golgotha, the hill outside Jerusalem where he was to be crucified.
