About this audio guide
This guide to the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem climbs past the ninth station to an unlikely rooftop above the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, where a community of Ethiopian Orthodox monks has kept a monastery in plain stone cells for centuries. You'll hear how a single painted column marks the station itself, and about the quiet, undisputed-looking line where Coptic ground gives way to Ethiopian. Listen slowly here; the ground beneath your feet is the real subject.
