In the church you see a replica of the Stone of Unction on which Jesus was laid down after his death in the presence of Mary. The body was cleaned with a sort of oil. This is the 13th station of the Via Dolorosa. The wall paintings in the church are displaying these events from the moment he is taken down from the cross. Many Christians touch the beautiful stone which is a symbol of the preparation process of the body of Jesus before he is taken to his tomb.

Dit is het 13de station van de Via Delorosa. De muurschilderingen in de kerk tonen duidelijk de gebeurtenissen vanaf de kruisafname. Vele Christenen raken de Steen der Zalving aan die symbool staat voor het voorbereidingsproces van het lichaam vooraleer het naar het graf werd gedragen..
