Although no such thing is recounted by the canonical Gospels, and no official Christian tenet makes these claims, popular tradition has it that Jesus stumbled three times during his walk along the route; this belief is currently manifested in the identification of the three stations at which these falls occurred.
Iako ova priča nije službeno ispričana u biblijskom kanonu, a i službena kršćanska dogma ne potvrđuje ove tvrdnje, popularna tradicija kaže da je Isus posrnuo tri puta tijekom Križnog puta; ovo se uvjerenje očituje u identifikaciji tri postaje na kojima su se ova "tri pada" dogodila.
