Thousands of Christian pilgrims marked Good Friday (March 29) by walking the "Via Dolorosa" or "The Way of Sorrows" in Jerusalem's Old City.<br/> <br />The faithful followed the route they believe Jesus walked, carrying his cross to where he was crucified more than 2,000 years ago.<br/> <br />Along the route, crowds stopped to pray at the various stations of the Cross which signify significant points on his journey.<br/> <br />Many pilgrims also carried wooden crosses, with one group acting out the route complete with Roman soldiers and a man wearing a crown of thorns covered in fake blood.
