Some Arguments In Concerns Of The Passion

Can anybody say 15 stations of the cross. A pastor sitting behind me did not know about St Veronica and the Towel.

We always counted them as 14.... what do you count as the 15th? :)

Either it was a typo, or the Resurrection of Jesus is considered the 15th station, as some versions do it.

Stations of the Cross: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15569a.htm

St. Veronica: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15362a.htm

It's probable that the pastor does not know about St. Veronica and her wiping the face of Jesus because Catholics have learned of her through tradition and not through scripture alone.

True dat. Several years back my family and I were visiting the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Savannah, GA, and my mom noticed the Stations of the Cross and was surprised at the one with Veronica. She'd never heard of her!

BTW, my family is Presbyterian. I was Presbyterian at the time, but I've since become Catholic.
