Station 5: Simon helps Jesus to carry His Cross, Jerusalem, Palestine, Israel, 1946, From the Album First leave in Palatine and Jerusalem, 18th September to 6th October album is a sight seeing trip off the religious sites of Jerusalem. The 5th station is located at the corner of Via Dolorosa road and El-Wad ("The Gai") road. At this corner the road turns sharply to the right, and then starts climbing up the hill with a series of stairs. A small Franciscan church is located at this station, dedicated to Simon the Cyrenian, who assisted Jesus with the cross. This is based on Luke 23, 26: "And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus".
