The Via Dolorosa or "Way of Suffering", winds along the narrow streets of Jerusalem's Old City. This is the traditional route that many believe Jesus followed bearing His cross from Pilate's Judgement Hall in the Antonia to Calvary Hill. There are 14 stations along this route. Some of them are not recorded in the Bible but come from Church tradition. This video does not show all 14 stations but hopefully it gives you a sense of this sacred route.
