africa tourism attraction DolorosaVia Dolorosa
DolorosaVia Dolorosa is a street name in Yerusalem old city. He/she begins from ex Istana Pontius Pilatus and end in Church Sacred Makam so-called Golgota. As the same manner as we know, this city located right accross middle between Israel and West Tepi that claimed unilaterally as capital of state politics Israel in 1949.
That City is bisected: West Yerusalem that become Israel region with its resident jew majority, and East Yerusalem that continued fought over up to now and is being dwelt by people Arab palestinian.
Old City that full [of] spiritual mosaic that reside in Yerusalem region East. Israel continuously tries either through politics or social conduct that expansion to region with strategy in sosio-historis is divided four base ethnical and majority community that has dwelt that place hundreds of year, namely jew region, Arab (Moslem), Christian, and Armenian.
dolorosaVia Dolorosa [it is true] solid street and supersibuk because reside in in region of people market Arab similar palestinian atmosphere Pasar Johar Semarang. All the way existed haberdasherry stores, fruits and goods of life need everyday. But the most extruding is store of antique goods and suvenir. Can be told that that street actually is narrow;tight gangway that split market and region super market Arab palestinian.
Pilgrim that by the way of that must take a care because public road that width only three that metres are growing made narrow by multifarious merchandise that sometimes menjorok to street body, both for performed below/under or that hung above. But that carefulness especially in taking care of our valuable goods because as the same manner as generally city wisata, over there full [of] pickpocket.
The first time reside in street is referred [as], I feel oddity witnesses some pilgrims race crucifix rent and try conduct tread tilas traces crucifix street begin at first station till Golgota. Over there there is big crucifix rental for entourage and small for dipanggul by it self.
Matters dazes in my mind. What/wheter must follow entourage of foreign countries pilgrim or not? What/wheter will follow shoulder crucifix or select by foot just alone?. And I get there, precise on-site first Jesus stands up accept decision Pilatus. I open [the] Bible and try its [the] truth searching.
My Memory is brought to event [of] thousands of year ago. My Place stands up that ex Praetorium, roman ARMY headquarter, right accross side Pontius palace Pilatus, leader [of] ARMies that. Hundreds of people gather around. There is incoming from South America and also from Asia. As if there is that move them to gather together in a small chapel that believed become place Pilatus judges Jesus and finally clean [his] arms secede from that controversy court.
I try imagine that thing. Sure many people have the chasuble of which during the time seen teach in Sinagoge (synagogue of jew people). Also seen some God stewards in Bait God. They [in] vanguard. Roman ARMY stands up with Iurid its try arrange mass that more and more many and scream-call loudly. Mill around forwards, precise at the site all of us place, pilgrims is standing.
Yes, yes over there, I was like whirl-belly button from [the] past with atmosphere now.
Together with pilgrims other, we will start one faith journey, a/an trod tilas at [street] that ever passed by Jesus [go] toes Golgota. Pilgrims that indigenous to that different nations so expressive, follow memanggul crucifix, and not mind others. A very attractive tontonan, and I [in] depth, also follow memanggul crucifix in. And at [street] called with Latin term Via Dolorosa Street alias that Penderitaan, I try feel grief that ever Jesus.
dolorosaPerjalanan pilgrimage by trace Via Dolorosa had been started since christianity era early and reach in importance by midcentury fourth when Kaisar Constantine makes Christian as [the] state religion. Millions of people every year spill ruah to palestinian to conduct pilgrimage journey. Various of traditional routes are ever designed. But route that finally applied in social activities till now is route [that] made by pilgrims in era Byzantine, be next specify officially by ordo Franciscan, with 14 unit of stop stations (14 stations of the crosses) alongside the way.
Pass by that route, journey is started in Moslem area (Moslem Quarter) near Gerbang Singa, precise in ex Istama Pontius Pilatus (complex garrison romawi), and end in Church Holy Sepulchre (the Church of the Holy Sepulchre) or recognized with Church Sacred Makam that located in in Christian region (Christian Quarter).
Journey from conference place Pilatus [go] toes Golgota, according to Bible note, load a number of important events, that become important dots on the way crucifix. The example is fall event Jesus, the coming of [in] one women that mop face Jesus, crucifix switchover to Simon from Kirene, discovery Jesus with mother-its, that kesemuanya noted 14 events. This then recognized with 14 station of crucifix streets.
At any given that event place where ever happens, there is guideline [of] have the shape of iron plate that given number and there are some that have the shape of small chapel. We stay follow map that can be bought at the price of one dollar THE UNITED STATES and stop according to guideline to pray at any given station.
Draw it, although that is area Arab palestinian, there is very big tolerance over there. There are some station that located in narrow;tight place where on the happening of pressure-urgent between pilgrim and resident Arab that shop, they volunteer await us finish pray even give street. May even exist a station that precisely ahead time office [of] a Organisasi palestinian Moslem. They are not at all bothered with atmosphere ruhaniah pilgrims when stop in station is referred [as].
dolorosaSayang once, not all band it might passed by. Along with unload tide in solid band that dwelling, there are some station that will never passed by next because in atasnya has stood up settlement. And so it is with pilgrimage timing, very suggested to conduct journey in the morning, when market has not yet opened and stores has not yet performed its merchandise. At that moment, situation much more peace and our [of] much private times for.
In virtual edge of street not over-long that, journey ends in a place called Holy Sepulchre Church or Church Sacred Makam. Over there in believed Jesus terminates its journey: Golgotha.
Church Blessedness Sacred Makam
The end of Via Dolorosa is place so-called with Golgotha, a hill that become crucifixion place Jesus. That Place at this time not at all again in form of its hill although position reside in height. Over there there is church that is being built for centuries ago and has been stood up till now. Traditional kristiani, that church is built by Kaisar Konstantine around 325-335 Masehis for commemorative Kebangkitan Jesus.
Konstantine is roman emperor that become pemeluk Christian. On-site that pulalah, Queen Helena, dear mother the emperor, ever come, and is in pushed Konstantine takes decision to save holy places in Yerusalem by building church in atasnya. Purportedly, on-site that pulalah the queen finds cutting from cross wood that used [by] for menyalibkaan Jesus that the existance up to now is being [shall] no longger known.
But there is one part of this church that its position higher than main floor, that is top [of] a reef. Traditional kristiani, that reef still keeps hole of crucifix place is stuck. For menggapai that hole, the party of church develops an altar in atasnya and we must cringe raise a hand into to touch that reef. Rather old my hold stone in the hole that. And because this is belief in god journey, then that spiritual strength only I feel personally.
That Church resides in Christian region and become one of building the most sanctified over there. At least there is three important places in that church namely, Golgota, altar of corpse place stone Jesus is lain down after alighted from crucifix, and holy mausoleum place Jesus is entombed.
That Church fair to middling big. Each of them haves part is by it self hung event that happened in it. Altar of crucifix hole place resides in highest place on the right entrance. We must step on straircase that rather steep to come to above. Altar of place stone put downs exists corpse right accross entrance front. Much roman pilgrims khusyuk pray on-site that.
When enter church door, mace aroma that emerge above stone altar is referred [as], has been kissed. Though in that altar, can be every pilgrim place clothes or kerchief for menyerap ancient mace aroma that first used to bast corpse Jesus.
dolorosaEntah why, that stone aroma never decreases. On the left entrance, at church backside, there is one complex altar in form of cungkup owner stone narrow;tight and small door. We must bow to enter narrow;tight cave room that shall only accomodate maximal six people.
No can prolonging over there because a roman monk ready to admonishes hardly if pass deadline to give innings at other. That is grave that believed become place put downs corpse Jesus ribuah year ago, also My place experiences of evocation. That Place is very taken care its blessedness. Pilgrim or tourist that come into church building must wears clothes that close all organs its. Woman with miniskirt or dress with body member that opened will be chucked out of.
Basilica Konstantine is ever burned when holy land/ground is controlled by persian in 614 Masehis but in 630, return woken up by Kaisar Heraklius. When that place into the hands of Moslem clan, this church is fixed defended its form and confessed as [the] religious service medium Kristiani. Many times, along with berubahnya power Yerusalem, domination to that church migrate. Also many times destroyed and rebuilt.
In its form that now, that church is result renovates with permanent building that very luxury and give room for tourist that conduct religious service. Over there existed prominent roman that lead religious service everyday and we can follow it. Fortunately when me there, religious service has finished so it's can enter that places spatially. Really an incomparable spiritual journey.
