Irael-Day7-Bethesda, St. Annes, Via Dolorosa


John 5: Jesus heals the paralytic at the pools of Bethesda.

St Anne's has the best acoustics in Israel. We sang a couple songs and it was simply amazing. It made even me sound decent :)

We walked along the Via Dolorosa which is the commemorative walk to enter the way of sorrows. It is not the actual walk that Jesus took to the cross. There are 14 stations along the way, each symbolizing a part of his journey. Not all of them are biblical. This picture is station 5 for Simon of Cyrene who carries Jesus' cross.

This is the quiet section of the walk. I wish I had taken a picture of the busy part but I was too busy taking it in and trying to keep up. We flew through this.

The walk ended here on top of the roof of (part of) the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
