Via Dolorosa

On Sunday a group of us decided to go into the old city to Mass at the Armenian Catholic Church which is on the Via Dolorosa at the third station. Afterwards we went for coffee and strudel at the Austrian Hospice (really an accommodation place and not a Hospice as we know it).  Some of us then walked round the Stations of the Cross on the Via Dolorosa (the Sorrowful Way) in Old Jerusalem. After lunch Steve left the girls to go shopping!

Armenian Catholic Church where we went to Mass

The 4th Station... Jesus meets his Mother - in the crypt below the church 

The Fifth Station - Simon of Cyrene helps carry Jesus' cross

The sixth station - Veronica wipes the face of Jesus - The name Veronica means true icon - the true follower of Jesus is the one who shows compassion
