of Grief" in Latin) is a road in the old

Luke
23,
26-32:
"And
he
released
unto
them
him
that
for
sedition
and
murder
was
cast
into
prison,
whom
they
had
desired;
but
he
delivered
Jesus
to
their
will.
And
as
they
led
him
away,
they
laid
hold
upon
one
Simon,
a
Cyrenian,
coming
out
of
the
country,
and
on
him
they
laid
the
cross,
that
he
might
bear
it
after
Jesus.
And
there
followed
him
a
great
company
of
people,
and
of
women,
which
also
bewailed
and
lamented
him.
But
Jesus
turning
unto
them
said,
Daughters
of
Jerusalem,
weep
not
for
me,
but
weep
for
yourselves,
and
for
your
children.
For,
behold,
the
days
are
coming,
in
the
which
they
shall
say,
Blessed
are
the
barren,
and
the
wombs
that
never
bare,
and
the
paps
which
never
gave
suck.
Then
shall
they
begin
to
say
to
the
mountains,
Fall
on
us;
and
to
the
hills,
Cover
us.
For
if
they
do
these
things
in
a
green
tree,
what
shall
be
done
in
the
dry?
And
there
were
also
two
other,
malefactors,
led
with
him
to
be
put
to
death".
