Christ’s Carrying of the Cross Commemorative Coin
Mentioned in all four Gospels, Christ Carrying the Cross is an important episode of Christ’s journey to resurrection.
Traveling down what is now known as the Via Dolorosa,
Christ bore the weight of the cross upon his shoulders as he walked to Calvary, where he was to be crucified.
All along the way, crowds of people came to witness as the Roman soldiers led Christ to his death.
