Description The Via Dolorosa --Latin for "Way of Grief," "Way of Sorrows," or "Painful Way"--is a street in the Old City of Jerusalem, held to be the route that Jesus walked on the way to his crucifixion.
As a boy, I played on its winding pathway, and for many years I have guided pi.
I know the Via Dolorosa because I grew up on the Via Dolorosa.
It is a distance of about six hundred meters (two thousand feet) but a one-hour walk with prayers and devotions.
