7th Station Via Dolorosa

The Via Dolorosa or the “Way of Sorrows” is the traditional route Jesus walks on his way to his crucifixion. The Via Dolorosa has 14 traditional stations honoring the events that took place as Christ made his Golgotha to be crucified.  Every Friday afternoon hundreds of Christian pilgrims join a procession and make their way along the 14 stations of the cross ending at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.  Seventh Station – Jesus Falls for the Second Time:  At the junction of Via Dolorosa Road with Souk Kahn As-Zeit Street, a Franciscan Chapel marks the spot where tradition holds Jesus fell for the second time, while passing out of the city through this gate.
