TODAY: Find a map of Jerusalem (pictures too if you can). Follow
Jesus’ path during Holy Week. On Palm Sunday, he rode down
the Mount of Olives and entered the city near the modern-day Gate
of Stephen. Tradition places the Last Supper at Coenaculum on the
mount early Christians called Zion. Jesus was beaten and humiliated
after being seized in the Garden of Gethsemane, probably near Antonia
Fortress, which is beneath the Monastery of Flagellation and Convent
of Our Lady of Zion. Via Dolorosa, the Sorrowful Way, leads to the
Church of the Holy Sepulcher, hallowed as the place of Christ’s
crucifixion and resurrection.
