Via Dolorosa, Jerusalem Overview
Via Dolorosa, also known as the Way of the Cross or the Way of Sorrow, is a narrow processional stone path in the Old City of Jerusalem. Starting from Antonia Fortress and to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the route holds religious value for being known as the path that Jesus took on the way to his crucifixion.
Every Friday, a Roman Catholic procession headed by Franciscan friars walks along the route, and many re-enactments of the city’s historically significant events occur regularly. Established in the 18th century, the current Via Dolorosa has fourteen Stations of the Cross, a series of pictures depicting Jesus on the crucifixion day. Nine stations are outside, while five are inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Modest clothing is advised.
