Dolorosa
Street on which Jesus were crucified.
After his arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane Jesus suffered bullying, humiliation and false accusations before Sinedrinom, before the Jewish King Herod and the Roman governor Pontius Pilate. He was sentenced to death, and led to the crucifixion of the street Dolorosa.
And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon of Cyrene, who was walking off the field, conferred on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus. And there followed him a great company of people, and of women who bewailed and lamented him. But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem! weep not for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children, because the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs, and breasts nursed! Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us! and to the hills, 'Cover us! For if in the green tree is done, then it would be dry?
Luke 23
Luke 23
Each day, hundreds of pilgrims pass through this street, repeating the sad path of the Savior on Golgotha. As well as two thousand years ago, Dolorosa crowded, there is rampant trade and worth the noise of the crowd. But at the end of the path, on Calvary, where now stands the Temple of the Holy Sepulchre, if we are alone with the inevitability of death throes, which has undergone in the last hours of Jesus before his death on the cross.
