Each episode of the Passion, such as the [[Flagellation of Christ]] or [[Entombment of Christ]], has been represented thousands of times and has developed its own [[iconography|iconographic]] tradition; the Crucifixion is much the most common and important of these subjects. The Passion is often covered by a cycle of depictions; [[Albrecht Dürer]]'s [[Old master print|print]] cycles were so popular that he produced three different versions. [[Andachtsbilder]] is a term for devotional subjects such as the [[Man of Sorrows]] or [[Pietà]], that may not precisely represent a moment in the Passion but are derived from the Passion story. The ''[[Arma Christi]]'', or "Instruments of the Passion" are the objects associated with Jesus's Passion, such as the cross, the [[Crown of Thorns]] and the [[Holy Lance|Spear of Longinus]].  Each of the major Instruments has been supposedly recovered as [[Relics attributed to Jesus|relics]] which have been an object of veneration among many Christians, and have been depicted in art. [[Veronica's Veil]] is also often counted among the Instruments of the Passion; like the [[Shroud of Turin]] and [[Sudarium of Oviedo]] it is a cloth relic supposed to have touched Jesus.

In the Catholic Church, the Passion story is depicted in the [[Stations of the Cross]] (''via crucis'', also translated more literally as "Way of the Cross"). These 14 stations depict the Passion from the sentencing by Pilate to the sealing of the tomb, or with the addition of a 15th, the resurrection. Since the 16th-century representations of them in various media have decorated the [[nave]]s of most Catholic churches. The Way of the Cross is a devotion practiced by many people on Fridays throughout the year, most importantly on [[Good Friday]]. This may be simply by going round the Stations in a church, or may involve large-scale re-enactments, as in [[Jerusalem]]. The [[Sacri Monti of Piedmont and Lombardy]] are similar schemes on a far larger scale than church Stations, with chapels containing large sculpted groups arranged in a hilly landscape; for [[pilgrim]]s to tour the chapels typically takes several hours. They mostly date from the late 16th to the 17th century; most depict the Passion, others different subjects as well.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Passion as Christian Artwork {{!}} EWTN |url=https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/passion-as-christian-artwork-4189 |access-date=2022-10-24 |website=EWTN Global Catholic Television Network |language=en |archive-date=2022-10-24 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221024060906/https://www.ewtn.com/catholicism/library/passion-as-christian-artwork-4189 |url-status=live }}</ref>
