This is part of Catholic observance and these Stations influenced Mel Gibson, who tried to turn his film The Passion of the Christ into a kind of movie version of the Stations of the Cross.
The sixth station of the Cross is without basis, either in a gospel or anywhere else. It seems to be a Catholic invention to justify a relic ("Veronica's Veil") with which Jesus supposedly wiped his face during his Passion.
