Yesterday we visited the traditional site of the crucifixion of our Lord. It is a huge church that includes stations of the cross and many artistic renditions and icons. There is a definite orthodox influence present. This mural is only part of a telling of the gospel on the wall. To the left you can see them preparing the body of Jesus for His burial, and then you see Him on the cross.
This is the believed site of the crucifixion. People are lined up to pass by. There is a rock encased there that is supposed to be part of the rock at Golgotha. People bend down, reach in, and touch the rock. It was powerful to contemplate the sacrifice of Jesus for our sins.
