Closeup Of Jesus Face Sculpture In The Chapel Of The 7th Station
This image provides an intimate close-up of a brass sculpture depicting the face of Jesus Christ, located in the Chapel of the 7th Station along the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem. The sculpture, an artistic work, is mounted on the wall of the Franciscan chapel and captures the intricate details of Jesus' face with remarkable craftsmanship. The expression conveys a sense of solemnity and suffering, appropriate for the site's significance on the path commemorating Christ's Passion. The chapel, known as the 7th Station of the Via Dolorosa, is situated at the intersection of Via Dolorosa and Khan Az-Zeit Market Street. Historically, this location marks a crossroads in ancient Jerusalem, intersecting with the Cardo Maximus during the Roman and Byzantine eras, at the time of Emperor Hadrian. The chapel is positioned near the Gate of Judgement, a first-century city gate through which Jesus is believed to have exited Jerusalem on His way to crucifixion. Interestingly, prior to the 16th century, this spot was considered the 8th and final station, signifying a shift in the historical understanding of the Stations of the Cross. The sculpture's placement at this revered location adds a deep sense of historical and spiritual significance, symbolizing the enduring commemoration of Christ's journey.
