苦路

苦路一共十四站，如今是在耶路撒冷老城區內的一段崎嶇不平的石板路。聖經記載中的耶穌遇難前發生的一些小故事，構成了苦路十四站的各個站點。如今這裏被一一標註出來，苦路的盡頭就是耶穌遇難處後來建起來的聖墓教堂。

在耶路撒冷啊，有一條古老的小路， 這就是當年耶穌走過的苦路。耶穌遭猶大出賣被捕后，判做死刑。他頭戴荊棘王冠，身背十字架，受盡折磨、屈辱赴死之路。苦路十四站，大約1公里長。

苦路，是耶穌從被審判定罪，背着十字架走完殉道之路，直到最後死亡的過程。前九站都在耶路撒冷的老城區里，耶穌不堪痛苦，跌倒了三次，還和母親告別。剩下的都在聖墓教堂。前後長八百多米。有虔誠的信徒會背着十字架，唱着聖歌，重走苦難之路，作為遊客，我們也可以跟着感受下氛圍。

The bitter road is the only way to Jerusalem. In the old city of Jerusalem, there is a road without a number, which has been commemorated by Christians since the first century. It is "Hard Road" ("VIA DOLOROSA"). After Jesus was condemned to death, he walked through the streets of Jerusalem with a heavy cross on his back at the command of Pilate, governor of Rome, step by step to the execution site, and was crucified. He stayed fourteen times, fourteen of which were "14 stops on Kulu Road". In 1731, Pope Craymond XII confirmed the fourteen landmarks where Jesus had stayed on the road of distress, so he had the idea of fourteen stops on the road of distress . Many Christians came to Jerusalem to make pilgrimages in the form of hard roads, which are also known as worship hard roads . Most visitors to Jerusalem will also walk along the 14-stop hard road. So it's also the most famous hiking route in the old city of Jerusalem. It's 1.4 kilometers long and the last five stops are in the present Church of the Holy Sepulcher. The first stop was the Conviction Church, the former Rome Examination and Approval Office, where the Governor of Rome flogged Jesus and sentenced him to death. Roman soldiers crowned Jesus with thorns and put on purple robes. The second stop is Jesus'cross on his back. Jesus went out of the judgment hall, took up the cross in front of the door, went west along the street, and embarked on the bitter road. At the third stop, Jesus fell for the first time, and at the fourth stop, Jesus saw in the crowd the Virgin Mary at the fifth stop, Simon carrying the cross with Jesus at the sixth stop, Veronica wiping Jesus'cheeks. The handkerchief left the face of Jesus. The seventh stop, the second fall, the eighth stop, Jesus spoke to the weeping woman. The ninth stop, the fourteenth stop, the second floor of the Church of the Holy Tomb, Jesus was stripped of his coat and crucified to death. They were laid down on a stone bed, wiped, anointed, wrapped and buried in the sacred tomb. The murals in the Church of the Holy Cemetery record the process of Jesus being lowered from the cross, wiped and wrapped up until he was buried. Three days later, Jesus rose to heaven. The holy sites in the church are the places where Christians make pilgrimages. They need to wait in line, especially for the second floor altar, the first floor of the holy tomb and the large number of Christians. This historical record of Jesus going to Golgotha (Skeleton Mountain) to the crucifixion and murder makes people feel the pain of Jesus when he suffered for human beings.

耶路撒冷舊城裡的一條彎彎曲曲的小路，當年耶穌背負着十字架，沿着這條小路走向的刑場，解說期間經歷了14件事，因此苦路也有14站，對於基督徒來說，這是最虔誠的朝聖之旅。耶路撒冷老城的道路真的很狹小，也很難找，很多遊客一站又一站的找過，不是瞎說，沒有導遊的話肯定搞不清方向，必定迷路。雖然我們大部分都不是基督徒，但是還是饒有興趣的走了苦路一段，聆聽着當年耶穌摔了一跤又一跤的苦難故事，每一個站點都有羅馬数字標記，最好的方法是要在遊客中心要一張地圖，上面詳細註明了所有道路的名字以及線路，這樣的話尋找起來會容易很多，最後幾站就在聖墓教堂裏面。幾乎每一個來耶路撒冷的人，都會想着要找一下老城裡面的苦路，雖然不容易，但這也是樂趣之一。隨緣看世界

The bitter road is a section of the road that Jesus crucified to death before he died. It left a holy place in the old city of Jerusalem, a total of 14 stops. One square kilometre of the old city, alleys bending, ups and downs, mostly Muslim residents, only six Jewish households. The old city is mainly tourism, with numerous small shops opened by Muslim residents. Commodities except Muslim handicraft are mostly produced in China and approved by Yiwu. On the afternoon of July 31, 2016, led by Ctrip's leader and local tour guide, we walked along Kulu one stop and climbed down the slope to drill the tunnel. Although the old city is small, it was the central line of Jerusalem 2000 years ago. The dead prisoners must follow this road and carry a cross to the execution site. The Bible records that Jesus Christ carried a heavy cross and stayed fourteen times along the way. Today, people mark the 14 places. When Christians go to the Holy City, they have to walk fourteen stops to understand the spirit of Christ. The first is the death sentence of Jesus in the City Hall. Jesus was falsely accused by the elders of testifying for the truth and sentenced "to crucify him". The second is Jesus'cross in front of the City Hall. 3rd Jesus fell down on the road for the first time. The fourth Jesus met his mother on his way, and now there is a Notre Dame church. The 5th Sigman band carried the cross. The sixth woman wiped the face for Jesus. The seventh time Jesus fell down. Jesus counseled the women of Jerusalem. At that time, the people followed Jesus, and some women wept bitterly for him. Jesus turned to them and said, - "The woman of Jerusalem, do not cry for me, but for herself and her children. " Ninth Jesus fell for the third time. When Jesus fell, he put his hand on the wall, which left Jesus'fingerprints. 10th Jesus was stripped of his clothes. Nail 11, frame 10. The nails were hammered into Jesus'wrists, feet, and he was almost unconscious every time he struck. Jesus died on the cross. The 13th body of Jesus was unloaded from the cross. Jesus was buried in the tomb. The public order is still good, and the army and police are carrying guns in the streets. As a tourist, I walk 14 stops in an hour and a half following the miracles of that year to experience Christ and religion.

After entering the Lion Gate, we are looking for the fourteenth station of Kulu Road. Later, I learned that the Lion Gate is the first stop on the bitter road. Originally, I was sure to fall a few stops, but I didn't expect to meet a group of believers carrying the cross on the hard road, and we followed along all the way, which is the whole journey. When they stop at each stop to recite the sutras, we can look at the data and see that they are not in a hurry. It's a good way for people who want to walk hard to follow in this way.

After we left Temple Hill, we began to follow the hard road that Jesus carried the cross to the execution site in the old city, looking for the 14 stops he had experienced, along which believers cruised. I've seen a film about the Passion of Jesus before, and I don't know if it was filmed here on the spot.
