Eighth Station of the Cross
Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem

70AD

The screams of the dying pierced the distance of the night as the orange flames burned in the remnants of Jerusalem. Young and old, the women stood and witnessed the fulfillment of His warning to them from so long ago.

A voice cried out, "Blessed are the barren, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!" Spent with this cry, an old woman fell renting her clothes with sorrow, "I have lost everything this night!"

"You have not lost everything," a second voice called out in reply, "The Lord is with you. The Messiah will save you."
