3rd 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.  Third Station – Jesus Falls for the first time:  A 15th century Chapel built by the Armenian Catholic Church commemorates the spot where Jesus fell the first time under the weight of the cross. The tiles in front of the Chapel are original tiles from that period and were preserved to this day.
