Via Dolorosa

The Via Dolorosa (Path of Sorrow or "Way of the Cross") is the route tradition says Jesus followed, from his condemnation by the Romans to the spot where he was buried after His crucifixion. The walk begins near Lions Gate (St. Stephen's Gate), in the Muslim Quarter, and ends within the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, in the heart of the Christian Quarter. This route is marked by the 14 Stations of the Cross with the last five stations inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
