Easter -Stations of the Cross

So based on today I can say that I do not regret not going to Tel-Aviv. The Stations of the Cross was by far the most interesting experience by far. It was supposed to start early in the morning depending on what church you went with. As soon as we got there though the first thing we see is some guy beating up a woman because she apparently hit him. Needless to say I was finally glad that we for once were surrounded by Israeli military.

But I have digressed…we went along with one procession which seemed like the right thing to do especially since they spoke in English Spanish, Italian, and Arabic so all of these languages were used in explaining the story of the sacrifice of Jesus. Along the way we saw many people with crosses and a bunch of processions. We sadly were parted from that church somehow and couldn’t find them anymore so we ended up following a Christian Arabic Church. We did all the stations and were walking along until the procession was halted abruptly by the police because the church of the Holy Sepulcher was full though we had to figure that out later because no one was telling us anything. All in all a fun time and a great cultural experience.
