The Church of the Flagellation: A Sacred Stop on the Via Dolorosa
The Church of the Flagellation is a sacred Franciscan complex that includes a monastery, located in the Muslim Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. It sits adjacent to the Church of the Condemnation and Imposition of the Cross.
This site is traditionally recognized as the place where Roman soldiers scourged Jesus after His conviction by Pontius Pilate (John 19:1). Pilgrims from around the world visit during Christian Holy Land tours to walk the path of Christ's suffering.
“Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.” – John 19:1
