WHAT DOES STATION CHURCH MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Station days

Station days were days of fasting in the early Christian Church. The practice of keeping stations died out during the Avignon papacy, but was revived in the twentieth century by popes Leo XIII and John XXIII. Pope Gregory the Great designated certain churches in Rome as stationes and recommended that on the more solemn festivals they should be made stations until the Hour of Sext, and at these same churches on the appointed days the faithful should assist at the Daily Office. The stations have long since been abandoned and have left their trace only in the Missal. In those days it became a tradition for the pope to visit a church in each part of the city and celebrate Mass with the congregation. In addition to Mass, the traditional station liturgy consists of an initial procession, the Litany of Saints, and a veneration of relics. Originally the congregation gathered at an ecclesia collecta nearby, where the procession was "collected" or assembled. This would then process through the streets for a short distance, to the actual station church. There was no collect church for Sunday stations.
