Whether this Hving tradition erred occasionally and precise spots were unenthusiastically accepted where a rather vague mem- ory survived, we cannot know. Recent excavations—for example those at the Lithostrotos of Pilate's Judgment Hall—have con- firmed tradition. We now know that our forefathers were wrong in supposing that the Ecce Homo Arch was the building from which Christ was exposed to the people. We do know, however, that deep below the present Via Dolorosa there does lie the actual path He trod to Calvary. We cannot know whether the Stations are the exaet sites of the various incidents.
