    סיורים בעיר העתיקה בירושלים

    The Via Dolorosa, Latin for 'Way of Grief’ or 'Way of Suffering’, is a winding street, of about 600 meters or 2,000 feet, believed to be the path that Jesus walked, carrying the cross on his back, to his crucifixion and burial. The marble column on the lefthand side of the entrance to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jesus burial spot, is covered in thousands of notches, etched over centuries by pilgrims and Crusaders alike, marking their visit to this holy site. Let archaeological excavations and biblical passages come to life as you walk along Jesus on his last steps in Jerusalem. Visit his final 14 stations - nine on the ancient Old City streets, and five in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre - on our Via Dolorosa and Christian Quarter walking tour.
