Luke 9:23-24
Take Up Your Cross
22“The Son of Man must suffer many things,” He said. “He must be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and He must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.” 23 Then Jesus said to all of them, “If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me. 24 For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it.…
Via Dolorosa is not a street but a route. After eating with his disciples at The Last Supper, Jesus went to Gethsemane. He was caught and surrendered to the Romans who sentenced him to die by crucifixion. The route Jesus took from the place of his judgment to the site of his crucifixion on Mount Calvary is sacred in Christianity. This final and fateful route is the Via Dolorosa.
Fourteen stations along this path signify events mentioned in the New Testament and Christian tradition, and different Christian denominations emphasize certain traditions and stations over others. For most pilgrims, the exact location of the events is of little importance compared to the deep meaning the route holds and its proximity to the original events. Pilgrims stop at each of the 14 Stations of the Cross for prayer and reflection.
WALKING THE VIA DOLOROSA
Station 1: Jesus’ condemnation by Pontius Pilate, believed to have occurred at the site of Madrasa al-Omariya, 300m west of the Lion’s Gate. Today the madrasa is a school and can be entered with the permission of the caretaker at specific times (Mon-Thu and Sat 14:30-18:00; Fri 14:30-16:00).
Station 2: Where Jesus was handed his cross, located next to the Franciscan Monastery of the Flagellation. The Chapel of Condemnation marks the site where Jesus was sentenced to death; the Chapel of the Flagellation is where he was beaten by Roman soldiers.
Station 3: Where Jesus fell for the first time under the weight of his cross.
Station 4: Where Mary watched her son pass by carrying the cross, marked by the Armenian Church of Our Lady of the Spasm. Inside the church is a remarkable 5th-century mosaic floor that includes an eery pair of sandals, said to be laid upon Mary’s footprints.
Station 5: The place where Roman soldiers forced Simon of Cyrene to help Jesus carry his cross.
Station 6: The spot where, according to a tradition, St. Veronica wiped Jesus’ face with a cloth that left an image of Jesus’ face forever imprinted on the cloth. The relic, known as the Sudarium Veronica, is at St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome.
Station 6: The Church of the Holy Face, which is attended by the Little Sisters, a Greek Catholic sect.
Station 7: Where Jesus fell for the second time. This is marked by a Franciscan chapel.
Station 8: A cross and the Greek inscription “NIKA” on the wall of the Greek Orthodox Monastery of St. Charalambos mark the place where Jesus consoled the weeping and mourning women of Jerusalem.
Station 9: The Coptic Patriarchate next to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Here, a Roman pillar marks the site of Jesus’ third and final fall.
Inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre:
Station 10: Jesus is stripped. Top of the stairs to the right outside the entrance.
Station 11: Jesus is nailed to the cross -upstairs just inside the entrance, at the Latin Calvary.
Station 12: Jesus died on the cross – Rock of Golgotha in the Greek Orthodox Calvary.
Station 13: Jesus is taken down from the cross – Statue of Our Lady of Sorrows next to the Latin Calvary.
Station 14: Jesus is laid to rest in the tomb – inside the altar on the main fl
