The Sacromonte Way of the Cross was instituted by the confraternity of the Third Order of San Francisco, located in the convent of San Francisco Casa Grande, in 1633. It took place every Friday of the year and Wednesday of Lent. After the prayers carried out in the church of San Pedro and after praying in three previous stations, they began the Sacred Street in the houses of Chapiz from where they would go through the fourteen stations that led them to the church of the Santo Sepulcro. From there they went up to visit the ovens and the church of the Sacromonte abbey, to return along the same path with new prayers of the joyful mysteries of the Virgin until they reached, again, the starting point in the houses of Chapiz.
