Jerusalem
The Via Dolorosa is known as the road that
Jesus carried the Cross to Calvary. It starts were
Jesus was tried, convicted and condemned to
be crucified. The 14 Stations of the Cross are
based on events that occurred while Jesus was
carrying the Cross to Calvary. We will walk the
Via Dolorosa to the site where He was crucified
on the Hill of Golgotha. Situated here stands the
Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Known as the
holiest place in the Christian world, the church
stands on the site where Jesus was crucified and
the tomb in which He was buried. The room of
the Last Supper is located above the Tomb of
David and Mount Zion. It is believed to be the
room where Jesus and His Disciples shared His
last supper the night before His capture.
Garden of Gethsemane
Located next to the Church of All Nations lies the
Garden of Gethsemane. According to Christian
tradition it is where
Jesus spent His last
night. After the
Last Supper, Jesus
and His disciples
left
Jerusalem
and travelled here
where they prayed until the guards, led
by Judas, came to arrest Jesus.
Bethlehem
5 miles from Jerusalem lies the town of
Bethlehem. One of the oldest surviving churches
in Bethlehem is the Church of the Nativity. Built
over a grotto, it is believed to be the site where
the Virgin Mary gave birth to Jesus. Located
2km from Bethlehem, lies the Shepherds Fields.
Traditionally it is said that the Angels of the
Lord visited the shepherds in these fields to
inform them of Baby Jesus’ birth.
