Walk down the path of Via Dolorosa

One does not have to follow a certain belief system in order to appreciate famous attractions in Israel. However, being in the presence of one of the most famous sites in the Christian religion may well enhance one's path to personal change, as it allows room for appreciation of others and acceptance of differing values.

The Via Dolorosa, which, translated from Latin, means "way of sorrows," is known to be the road that Jesus purportedly followed as he headed towards crucifixion. While the path has been changed over the years due to modernization of the area, many Christians from all over the world visit this area, as it serves as the Mecca of their spiritual journey.

Along the road, visitors will find the 14 Stations of the Cross, which may be familiar to some, as many churches adorn their walls with these images of the 14 final events of Jesus' life. The first station depicts the moment in which the Son of God was sentenced to death. That same spot is allegedly where his resurrection took place.
