Pastor Josh Howerton, leading Lakepointe Church, stated, 'The gospels tell us Jesus was taken outside the city walls to be crucified. This fits. It's within walking distance.' He emphasized the geographical context of the crucifixion.

The journey begins at the Temple Mount, where Jesus is said to have taught daily and, according to the Book of Matthew 21:12-17, 'cleansed the temple' of merchants and money changers seven days before his death.

In Mexico, Catholics in Taxco performed a traditional overnight procession where they carried heavy bundles of thorny branches, emulating Jesus’ suffering through acts of penance.
