The 10th Station – Jesus is stripped of his garments

The 10th Station of the Cross is where Jesus is stripped of his garments on the Calvary

Beneath the silver dome to the right is the chapel that commemorates where Jesus was stripped of his garments, which were distributed among those who placed him on the cross. This was the place from which pilgrims would climb up to Calvary (the Latin name for the site of the crucifixion) during the time of the Crusaders.
