Jerusalem

The Way of the Cross is the main road in the world, for any Christian pilgrim. Via Dolorosa or the Way of the Cross is the last road of Christ’s earthly life. It begins at the place of his trial, in the Roman Praetorium. It ends in the Temple of the Holy Sepulchre, the place of execution and subsequent resurrection. There are 14 stops, many of which are mentioned in the Bible. All of them have important symbolic meaning and meaning, which we will definitely talk about.

The Church of the Holy Sepulcher is a place whose importance cannot be overstated. Here is Calvary - the place of death of Jesus Christ. Also, we will see the anointing stone - the place of anointing the body with incense before burial. Kouvuklia is a chapel, the place of convergence of the blessed fire on Easter. It was here, according to Christian tradition, that the body of Jesus was laid after his execution. On the third day he rose from the dead and appeared to his disciples.

The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is a very important and emotional place that requires a calm and restless attitude. During our visit, we will try to feel the unusual atmosphere of this temple. We will also recall the biblical narrative and try to understand the complex and difficult fate of this unique historical place.
