Introduction to the Via Dolorosa: The Via Dolorosa, also known as the Stations of the Cross, refers to the streets that Jesus walked through after he came out of Pilate's courtyard and carried the cross after he was judged. There are 14 stations on the Via Dolorosa, recording the crucifixion of Jesus. A procession on the Stations of the Cross is held every Friday afternoon, with thousands of people praying and singing at one stop, and reading relevant chapters of the Bible in Latin, Greek and English.
