- Refers to still images produced from radiation-sensitive materials (sensitive to light, electron beams, or nuclear radiation), generally by means of the chemical action of light on a sensitive film, paper, glass, or metal. Photographs may be positive or negative, opaque or transparent. The concept does not include reproductive prints of documents and technical drawings, for which descriptors found under "
" are more appropriate. The concept may include photographs made by digital means. - Stations of the Cross - Work comprising a series of fourteen devotional pictures or carvings recalling the passion of Christ from his condemnation to his burial. The devotional exercise of visiting and praying in front of each of the 14 stations originates from the practice of early Christian pilgrims who visited the scenes of the events in Jerusalem and walked the traditional route from the supposed location of Pilate's house to Calvary. The Stations of the Cross are the subject of personal and private devotions during Lent and Passiontide in Roman Catholic and some Anglican churches. The images are typically mounted on the inside walls of a church or chapel but may also be installed in such places as cemeteries, hospitals, religious houses, and on mountainsides. The Franciscans popularized this form of devotion in the late Middle Ages.
