Via Dolorosa, in latin, means,the way of grief or the way of sorrow.  Every Friday Christians all over the world join in a procession ,in their hundreds,through the Old city Jerusalem stopping at 14 stations of the Cross.

It is believed that largely some of those stations were the path, Christ walked . Well, they say nine of the stations are based on Gospel references.
