📸 Journals From Jerusalem - Day One

⛪Today was spent visiting some of the holy sites in and around the Old City of Jerusalem associated with the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. These places are often bustling with Christian pilgrims but they have not been visiting over the past fifteen months because of the war, although small numbers have started to return more recently.

✝️A memorable part of Day One was joining the Franciscans on the Via Dolorosa. Every Friday at 3pm they process and pray the Way of the Cross, walking the path Jesus took on Good Friday through the city from the Church of the Condemnation to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.

🕯️We offered our prayers while following in the footsteps of Christ's Passion for peace and inside the basilica, in view of the empty tomb, lit candles praying that the light of hope may shine through the darkness.
