EDITORS COMMENTS
Via Dolorosa, Jerusalem: The Ancient Inscription Marking the Encounter between Jesus and Veronica (Mary of Magdala) This evocative image captures a significant moment along the Via Dolorosa, the "Way of Sorrows," in the Old City of Jerusalem. The Via Dolorosa is a route traditionally believed to be the path Jesus took on his way to his crucifixion, carrying the cross on his back. This route is marked by 14 Stations of the Cross, each commemorating an event along the way. At the Sixth Station, we find the poignant encounter between Jesus and Veronica, a woman of Magdala, as recorded in the New Testament of the Bible. According to the story, Veronica offered Jesus a handkerchief to wipe his face, leaving an impression of his face on the cloth. This relic, known as the Veronica's Veil, is a cherished relic in Christian tradition and a symbol of faith and compassion. The ancient inscription in Latin letters, visible on the stone wall in this photograph, marks the spot where this encounter is said to have taken place. The worn and weathered letters, etched into the stone, serve as a testament to the passage of time and the enduring significance of this biblical event in the history of Christianity. The intricate detail and the sense of history that emanates from this image transport us back to the sacred and painful path of Jesus' Passion and the profound moments of human connection and faith that unfolded along the way.
