Israel- Via Dolorosa

Our next stop (or you could call it multiple stops) in the Old City was the Via Dolorosa. It's held to be the path that Jesus walked, carrying the cross on the way to his crucifixion. The path follows the 14 stations of the cross, it weaves it's way through the city to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The last five stations of the cross are housed in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The church is huge and crowded. We did our best to shuffle past the last five stations without getting lost. There were so many people in the church it was a little crazy. I actually didn't take many pictures in the church mostly because it was so crowded. I did really like the ceiling in the church.
