Via Dolorosa - Simon and the Lamb


Recommended Posts

This may not be for all to view, but if you do,  I believe you will be touched as I was.

It is a video of Simon the Cyrenian pulled from the crowd to carry Jesus cross.  Cyrene is a country in North Africa and even though the video doesn't portray him being a black man, it seems likely he was.  In reading other accounts of this happening, the Roman soldiers did not pull any of the Jews from the crowd due to it being Passover.  If the Jews had touched the cross,  they would have been defiled and not able to participate in Passover.
