On August 2nd every year, thousands of Christians go to Notre Dame Church in Bansi Mountain for mass and worship. Pilgrimage is generally divided into taking the bitter road (in Catholicism, taking the bitter road is a very good deed for God's will and a familiar salute to Christians. Is to follow the example of early pilgrims and pay homage to the place where Jesus died in Jerusalem. Pope Pope Paul VI promulgated the "Amnesty Charter" on June 65, 438+0, 967, 65, 438+0, 65, 438, and those who earnestly worship the bitter road can get full Amnesty. ), attending mass and blessing the Eucharist, the purpose of which is to personally experience the suffering of Jesus when he went to Golgotha Mountain and the pain of the company of the Virgin Mary, and to purify the hearts of Catholic believers. The pilgrimage group held high the cross and colorful flags, recited scriptures along the road, made a pilgrimage on the bitter road under the scorching sun, and meditated on the pain when Jesus Christ carried the cross and the pain endured by the Virgin Mary. Many devout believers worship barefoot along the gravel road, kneeling at regular intervals, and the wild fruits on both sides of the rugged mountain road and the mud accumulated in the dry well of Notre Dame are robbed by believers.
Along the climbing road, you can see an exquisite and exotic Gothic building at regular intervals. *** 14 white signpost is a bitter road symbolizing the crucifixion of Jesus in Catholicism, which shows the crucifixion of Jesus and records the whole process from the beginning of Jesus' prayer at the Mount of Olives to the final crucifixion of 12 hours. The Lord came into the world to save human suffering and sin, but died because of human ignorance and sin. Judas betrayed the Lord for thirty silver coins, and then used a kiss as a signal at the Mount of Olives. The chief priests humiliated the Lord in front of many Jews. He just closed his eyes, silent, serene and awed. Everyone laughed foolishly, and Peter fulfilled the Lord's prophecy and denied the Lord three times. The priests and trade unions whipped and tortured the Lord, leaving bright red blood on him, and the Virgin Mary knelt down and wept silently. Neither Pilate nor Herod wanted to judge the Lord, so the chief priests led many people to rally against him. Finally, the Lord was handed over to cruel Roman soldiers to be crucified. At the end of the mountain, the Virgin Mary stood silently taking care of the pilgrims, and people put flowers around her to express their love for the Virgin Mary. ..... He was wounded for our transgressions and crushed for our sins; His punishment healed us, and his wounds healed us. -Isaiah 53: 5 (He suffered because of our sins and was hurt because of our great injustice; We are at peace because of his punishment, and we are redeemed because of his injury and pain. His tangled hair, calm eyes, chapped lips, bloody body, snow and sweat all over the floor, and the kind, peaceful and desperate eyes of the Virgin became clearer and clearer. Respect and cherish Jesus.
In Catholicism, because of limited conditions, it is impossible for all believers to make a pilgrimage to the holy places in Palestine. Therefore, the Holy Church allows and encourages the worship of Jesus' suffering in places where some parishes simulate Jesus' suffering experience in Jerusalem, and the forgiveness given by the Church is the same as going to the Holy Land in person. After that, although many places were set up to worship the suffering of Jesus, they still could not satisfy the people's desire to worship the suffering of our Lord. The church has been kind enough to allow more than a dozen memorial pavilions or crosses to be built in the parish. Those who meditate on Jesus' suffering and sincerely repent and change will get a lot of forgiveness. 14 images of the bitter road are respectively, the first place: Pilate sentenced Jesus to death.

Seventh place: Jesus was overwhelmed by the cross for the second time. Out of the city gate, I fell twice, the injury opened again, and the blood flowed again. Everyone laughed at me. Catholics, the noblest and so humble, may I change my pride and imitate Jesus. Eighth place: Jesus taught women full of suffering on the road, and all the women were in tears.
