Israel Day 8/13: Via Dolorosa Stations 3-9

Most of the time you would never know you were walking the path traveled by pilgrims to remember the walk that our Lord to the cross. It weaves through the busy streets of Old Jerusalem, crowded with souks, sellers, shoppers and tourists. Most of the time you were so busy trying to not get separated you hardly had time to take pictures of all the stations. Thankfully, we were pretty fast and we got most of them and some extra shots to boot...




Station III: The traditional spot where Jesus fell the first time.


Station IV (right next to III): Where Christ met His mother.






Station V: Where Simon of Cyrene carried the cross.
