The tradition of having the Stations of the Cross in churches began with St. Francis of Assisi and extended throughout the Roman Catholic Church in the medieval period. They may be prayed at any time, but are most commonly meditated on Fridays, particularly during Lent. On Good Friday the Pope leads the Stations of the Cross at the Colisseum in Rome.
