Down the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem that day
The soldiers tried to clear the narrow street
But the crowd pressed to see
A Man condemned to die on Calvary
He was bleeding from a beating - there were stripes upon His back
And He wore a crown of thorns upon His head
And He bore with every step
The scorn of those who cried out for His death
Down the Via Dolorosa, called the way of suffering
Like a lamb came the Messiah Christ the King
But He chose to walk that road out of His love for you and me
Down the Via Dolorosa all the way to Calvary
Por la Via Dolorosa, triste dia en Jerusalem
Los soldados le abrian paso a Jesus
Mas la gente se acercaba
Para ver al que llevaba aquella cruz
Por la Via Dolorosa que es la via del dolor
Como oveja vino Christo, Rey, Senor
Y fue El quien quiso ir por su amor por ti y por mi
Por la Via Dolorosa al Calvario y a morir
The blood that would cleanse the souls of all men
Made its way through the heart of Jerusalem
Down the Via Dolorosa called the way of suffering
Like a lamb came the Messiah Christ the King
But He chose to walk that road out of His love for you and me
Down the Via Dolorosa all the way to Calvary

Many Christians recognize a traditional route along which they believe Jesus was led from judgment before Pontius Pilate to Calvary, and mark seven - or fourteen, according to a different traditions - stations - where particular events occurred, each station marked by a special plaque. The route begins at the Ecce Homo arch (Latin for - This is the man-), so named because it was believed that here, on an ancient pavement, Pilate sat in judgment. (this location is now regarded as unlikely; Pontius Pilate was probably in residence at the site of the present Citadel).
Pilgrims proceed through neighboring narrow streets, until they reach the final station, inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, help by both tradition and scholarship to be the authentic site of Jesus' crucifixion and entombment.
The name of "Via Dolorosa" (or "Via Crucis") is relatively recent; it dates from the sixteenth century, when a name was sought for the stretch of road, between the fortress Antonia and Golgotha, along which Christ walked bowed under the weight of the Cross. The present route, however, is somewhat different from the one Jesus walked. Of the fortress Antonia, for example, where Christ was judged before Pilate and where Herod the Great had his residence, only a few scraps of paving remain. This building, which stood near the Northwest corner of the Temple, was the starting-point for Jesus' painful walk toward Golgotha (Calvary), which at that time was outside the walls of the city. Every Friday afternoon the Franciscans lead a pious procession winding through the streets that witnessed Christ's suffering. Via Dolorosa page was last updated 15/10/2008
