ABSTRACT

Jerusalem is the church in which is the glorious Sepulchre of the Lord. Next to it is the place of Calvary, where Christ was crucified. There follows the chapel in which there are four columns that are said to bewail the Passion of Christ; and in it is the place where the Holy Cross and the nails of the Crucified were found by blessed Helena. On Mount Sion is the church in which St James the Great was beheaded. In the valley of Jehoshaphat is the Field of Blood that was bought with the thirty pieces of silver for which Christ was sold. On the mount of the city of Jerusalem there are the gates that are called Golden, through which the Lord entered to His Passion. Near Jerusalem the wood of the Holy Cross was cut. There follows the road that goes to the house of Zechariah, where St John the Baptist was born.
