The Via Dolorosa has a total of 14 'stations' and is approximately 1 kilometer long. It is the path that Jesus walked, carrying the cross, from the Lion's Gate in the northeast of the Old City to the Temple Mount (Church of the Holy Sepulchre) where he was crucified.

Inside the church, there is a stone table where the resurrected Lord prepared breakfast for his disciples, now called 'Table of Christ'. Underneath the table is a mosaic depicting the loaves and fish.
