 3rd Station: Where Jesus
falls for the 3rd time by jadedmuse
There's no need for a guide, but for a few shekels it probably wouldn't be a bad idea to take one of the locals up on their offer since the Stations tend to meander and are often well hidden. David had our trusty Lonely Planet book so we used that.
The Stations of the Cross are regarded, and marked, as important "punctuations" during Jesus' crucifixion process (i.e. where He fell for the first time, second time, third time; where He saw Mother Mary's face in the crowd, where Veronica wiped His face, etc - eventually ending up at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre which where the last five stations are). When you walk through the Via Dolorosa, you really do get a sense of how sorrowful this condemnatory path was. Some stations are easier to feel this than others.
Most people will only ever get to do the Stations of the Cross in their local church back home; for the believer, walking the Via Dolorosa through Jerusalem's ancient streets is an incredibly unique and powerful experience.
I’ll certainly remember this experience for the rest of my life. Leave a Comment Directions: Old City Jerusalem

It is believed that the basis of the route is from the 3rd/4th century when Byzantine priests walked this route between Gethsemane to Calvary on Holy Thursday.
Changes to the route did not prevent 'Via Dolorosa' developing as a major pilgrimage, to the point where in the 14th century, Latin Christianity divided into two camps with differing chapels built along the way. Pilgrimage changed further when the tradition of starting at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre was changed so that it became the end of the route.
But the main problem with Via Dolorosa is that Jesus was likely to have been condemned to death at the other side of the city - his starting point being at the Citadel at Jaffa Gate (Herod's palace and PIlate's official residence) Leave a Comment Directions: Old City Jerusalem

The Christians believed that this is the pathway Jesus took carrying the cross before he was crucified. You can see some faithful Christian carrying the cross in procession at Via Dolorosa until The Church Of The Holy Sepulchere…One of the most sacred place of Christianity Address: Old City Jerusalem

The route of the Via Dolorosa begins near the Lions' Gate in the Muslim Quarter and ends at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in the Christian Quarter, covering 500 meters and incorporating 14 Stations of the Cross. Unfortunately, the Via Dolorosa can prove a difficult place for prayer and contemplation, as it travels through busy streets lined with snack bars and tourist shops. Leave a Comment

The route follows the path of Jesus between his condemnation and cruxifiction and burial. The route is marked by 14 "stations" (eg the 2nd station is where he took up his cross) starting at the Lions (St Stephens) Gate in the Muslim quarter and ending up at the Church of Holy Sepulchre in the Christian quarter.
The actual route has changed over the centuries and there are variations depending on your belief over certain events.
The stones on the pathing are the originals having been relaid following discovery in the 1970's.
A weekly procession along the Via Dolorosa is led by Franciscans at 3pm on Fridays, which is approximately the time and day of the original events. The procession begins at the Pilgrims' Reception Centre, about 300m inside the Lions' Gate in the Muslim Quarter. If you are in on a Friday, I would imagine this is perhaps the best way to experience the full devotional atmosphere of the pilgrimage. Otherwise stroll at your leisure stopping at each of the 14 stations which are marked. Leave a Comment Directions: Old City Jerusalem.
