VIA DOLOROSA (or the Way of suffering in Latin) is a real historical street within the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem and is considered the ubiquitous eternal road that Jesus walked from his trial to his crucifixion to his burial. VIA DOLOROSA is considered as a place of holy pilgrimage by believing Christians, as well as a very popular tourist site combining history, archeology and folklore. This exact route was established in the 1700s, but originated in the 1400s. In Roman times, especially with the Emperor Hadrian, the standard urban project established the main roads as east-west, crossed on the road from north to south, called Cardo ("heart" in Latin), all excavated, excavated and preserved from the 20th century.
The Christian pilgrimage to VIA DOLOROSA became popular, beginning with the Byzantine era, on Holy Thursday, beginning at the top of the Mount of Olives, through the Gethsemane Palace, the Lion Gate and the culmination of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Subsequent generations and denominations changed the route until it was finally and chronologically established by the Franciscans in the early 1500s.
Since then, VIA DOLOROSA has become a place not only for pilgrimage, but for devotion and meditation for believers, as well as an exciting and authentic tourist attraction.
The 1st and 2nd stations are dedicated to the occasion of the meeting of Jesus with the court with the Roman governor Pontius Pilate. Stations 3, 7 and 9 mean 3 times when Jesus stumbled and fell under the weight of his cross.
The 4th station reflects the popular tradition of the meeting of Jesus with Mother Mary on the route. The 5th Station refers to an episode in the Synoptic Gospels where Simon Kirine bears the cross for Jesus, and the 6th Station refers to the wonderful imprint of the reproof of Jesus that was imprinted on Veronica's curtain when she wiped his face. The 8th Station proceeds from the Gospel of Luke, where Jesus met a group of pious women and stopped to give them a sermon.
The 10th Station shows that Jesus is stripped of his clothes, as was the case in the Roman crucifixes. The 11th Station shows the horror of the moment when spikes sweep through his arms and legs as he nails to the tree of the cross. The 13th Station shows that Jesus was removed from the cross before the 14th and last station, where he was buried in the tomb provided by Joseph of Arimathea, who opposed the judgment and the crucifixion.
