NileGuide Expert tip:
Prepare for large crowds and uphill walking on the seconf half of the Via Dolorosa.
Description:
- This marks the 14 Stations of the Cross, a medieval pious meditation on Jesus' journey from the time of his arrest to his crucifixion and resurrection. The first station is located in the courtyard of the Muslim El-Omariyya School (open only after school hours). Continue along the well-marked path to the Holy Sepulchre, which encloses the last five stations. Franciscan monks guide a pilgrimage daily at 3p (except Sundays). Note that most of the churches along the walk are closed from 12:30p-2p.
