Via Dolorosa is the name of a street through the old city of Jerusalem. It has also become known as the, “Way of the Cross.” With a guided map (or some rambling around in the city) a tourist can stop at 14 different stations depicting the journey Jesus took from the time he was scourged by order of Pilate until he was removed from the cross. Several of the stations are based on tradition rather than scripture. This is a downloadable map I found online, but several people sold maps for $1 along the route.
