| Sumario: | The present study has been based on the investigation about the origin and evolution of the Fourteen Stations of the Cross that make up the Viacrucis, the revision of sources documents and their iconographic repercussion throughout history. In the XVIII century, the Franciscan Leonardo of Porto Mauricio established the basis for unifying a series of Christian devotions which, despite having a common spiritual substrate based on the mysticism exacerbated by the human nature of Christ and the pathos of the cross, lacked unity of worship and official recognition by the Church. During the first half of the eighteenth century, the Catholic spiritual exercise of the Viacrucis was finally established as the only devotional form dedicated to the Way of the Cross recognized by the Papacy, based on follow the steps that Christ walked carrying the cross until his death through the meditation by fourteen scenes, known as stations. The complex development of Passionist spirituality, cradle of the Viacrucis, had two main focuses: Europe where, especially from the Middle Ages, there arose an endless devotions to the passion of Jesus resulting from the rise of spiritual and mystical literature; and Jerusalem, where European pilgrims traveled to visit the Holy Places. Both centers had a vital interrelationship for the birth of the stations of the Viacrucis. While travelers wanted to know the Palestinian sites that European spirituality had imagined, the European faithful wanted to recreate in their land the sites described by the pilgrims, especially those of the passion suffered by Christ, which they could hardly access in any other way. In this intricate historical development are located the keys to the theoretical and iconographic understanding that supports the functional and aesthetic value of the art of Viacrucis, born after the official devotion establishment to which the Way of the Cross makes reference in the eighteenth century, and reasoned not only on the New Testament Gospels, but also in the underlying tradition of Passionist apocryphal texts and mystical and spiritual literature. |
