Today's ABC Wednesday is brought to you by the letter V. Contributing blogs have various other Vs. Visit them at mrsnesbittsplace.
V is for Roman numeral V. The 5th Station of the Cross where Simon of Cyrene takes the cross from Jesus. Via Dolorosa is the Way of Sorrows.

Hi Dina, I'll just comment here on your last V post. You always have such a VARIETY of words for the letter of the week and this week is no different. So many interesting photos and information to go along with them. Thanks for sharing. :D
ReplyDeleteDina,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your recent visit and comment on my Blog.
Thank you for the presentation on the letter "v". Very well done Dina
ReplyDeleteThank you for showing me these important sites. They are such powerful images for me. A wonderful post for this week.
ReplyDeleteVia Dolorosa,
ReplyDeleteIt must be very interesting to see this in person. I was just at a catholic cemetery that had the stations of the cross in statues. Although I was taught and thankful for the sacrifice Christ made for us I wasn't familiar with the stations...
Wow, so much effort into your V post, & fascinating also. I visited Jerusalem 20 years ago, & still have vivid memories of walking the city.
ReplyDeleteI walked on the Via Dolorosa in 2000. Your photos brought back so many memories. The one of Vad Vaschem is especially heart tugging. I will never forget that visit to it. Never, ever.
ReplyDeletevery beautiful and interesting v posts
ReplyDeletewow! maybe you'll really imagine how Jesus carried his cross as you see the path.
ReplyDeletehere in the philippines, it's not unusual to see people re-enacting Christ's passion. but i think it is still different when you really are in the place where Jesus passed.
My head is spinnning. A whole collection of posts dedicated to v's. Excellent work, need to delve deeperinto these.
ReplyDeleteverily verily ...
ReplyDeleteAmazing post!
