The sacred and the profane

 Via Dolorosa, the route taken by Jesus when He carried the cross to Calvary is set among the Arab section of the old city of Jerusalem. Sometimes Christian pilgrims still imitate the route He took and try to bring back the feeling of the sacred.




The liveliest and the most colorful part of the old city is the Muslim quarter. I adore this area, it has more soul than the other areas. Today everyone still lives by the old Ottoman law, whoever has their monument there, the land is theirs.
