Summary/Abstract: The motion, which is the main idea of the Way of the Cross, needs space to occur. Jerusalem became a pattern that was imitated across the world by the Calvary Foundation. In accordance with the utopian theory, the sanctuaries combine the characteristics of a garden and a city. Calvary creates a new space which can be deemed artificial because it transfers urban solutions into natural environments. The city of everyone can also create a space that is involved in the Way of the Cross. Religious manifestations that accompany the celebrations of the Good Friday cause that the tradition of the Passion is still alive, and give new meanings to the new areas across which the procession leads.
