We gathered early for the Via Dolorosa - carrying the cross, praying and singing through the streets of Old Jerusalem - the same way our Savior walked. We venerated the rock of Calvary - the place of his crucifixion, and the tomb where he was laid and the site of the resurrection. Mass was celebrated in the Crusaders' Chapel in the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. After lunch we enjoyed some free time in Old Jerusalem before going to the Western (Wailing) Wall. Praying the Our Father in various languages at the Pater Noster Church was a fitting way to end our pilgrimage today.
