The Via Dolorosa — The Path of Sorrow for Christian Pilgrimmage
The Old City charmed visitors with its crisscross streets. Bazaars selling all kinds of oddities along the roads form an air of festiveness. The goods and fruits shine incredible colors upon the Old City’s characteristic sandstone buildings.
More than two thousand years ago, Jesus walked this very path, bearing the weight of the cross on his shoulders as soldiers beat, tortured and taunted him. The Via Dolorosa (Lat. The Road of Sorrow) is the name for this journey. I meditated along my way, deliberately avoiding conversations with others. Other tourists seemed also to be keeping to themselves as well, walking silently. Some carried a cross in an entourage, to relive the suffering that once happened here.
We walked in a rapid pace through the Old City. I had in my mind the imagery of Jesus here. In all solemnity I walked on, despite the picturesque scenery and all the tourist activities surrounding. There were a total of 14 stops on the Via Dolorosa, culminating to the very last stop where, as the Catholics saw it, Jesus’ crucifixion took place.
There were disagreements as to the site of the crucifixion. The Anglican reading of history sounded reasonable, I thought it was likely to be closer to the true historical facts. Yet having walked Old City through the Via Dolorosa, I felt that the Catholic interpretation of history, with the Church of the Holy Sepulcher as the final stop for Christ, brought forth a more emotionally powerful experience. It had to do with the sights and scenes on the way. There was the presence and continuation of an ancient city-scape that lends a sense of historic beauty, with it an authenticity that elicited lasting impressions and emotional responses. It also had to do with the pilgrims, who, through reliving Jesus’ suffering, brought to life the message of redemption. The Garden Tomb, despite being peaceful, did not move me in my soul.

Largest Christian statue in Asia 😱
#vietnamtrip
Jesus Christ Statue also known as The Christ of Vung Tau Statue is located at Vung Tau, Vietnam.
The Jesus Christ Statue has an impressive height of 32 meters & it is the largest Christian statue across Asia since 2012 😎
To reach the top of the Jesus Christ Statue, a fit stamina & perseverance is required because we have to walk & hike nearly 800 steps 😱
The continuous effort will be rewarded by beautiful landscapes of mountains, natural scenery such as blue sea & trees once we go up to the top of sculptures on a 10-meter-high concrete pedestal.
Remember to wear a hat & comfortable shoes, put sunscreen & bring bottled water to avoid sunburn & stay hydrated 💦
Good things(panorama views) take time(steps), isn’t it 🤣

🇵🇹 Sanctuary of the Christ of King ✝️
The Sanctuary of Christ the King is a Catholic monument and shrine located in Almada, the southern bank of Tagus River in Lisbon. The Catholic statue was inspired by the Christ the Redeemer statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The monument was built after World War II and inaugurated in 1959.
This is probably the best place in Lisbon which offers stunning views of the 25 April Bridge which connects the city of Lisbon and Almada. The entrance ticket costs 8€ and allows you to take the lift to the top floor. From there you still have to climb a few flights of stairs to reach the observation deck where the statue of Jesus Christ is built. The viewpoint at the bottom of the monument also offers great views and walking on the ground surrounding the monument is completely free.
📍 Santuário de Cristo Rei
Av. do Cristo Rei, 2800-058 Almada, Portugal
