Christ's Passion - The Stations of the Cross
طريق آلام المسيح
Issued by the Government of Jordan on September 14, 1966, this remarkable set of 14 stamps depicts the Stations of the Cross (Via Dolorosa), commemorating Christ's Passion and the sacred path He walked in Jerusalem to His crucifixion. Each stamp in the series illustrates a specific station along this holy journey, featuring detailed artistic renderings of the biblical scenes in rich, multicolored designs. The stamps show various moments from Christ's condemnation by Pontius Pilate through His crucifixion and burial, including His falls, encounters with His mother Mary and Veronica, and the assistance of Simon of Cyrene. The Via Dolorosa holds special significance for Jordan as the custodian of Christian holy sites in Jerusalem, and this issue reflects the Kingdom's commitment to protecting and honoring the religious heritage of all faiths. The set includes a souvenir sheet and was also produced in imperforate variants, making it a comprehensive philatelic tribute to one of Christianity's most sacred traditions. This issue stands as both a devotional series and a testament to Jordan's role as guardian of the Holy Land's religious treasures.
أصدرت الحكومة الأردنية في 14 سبتمبر 1966 هذه المجموعة المميزة المكونة من 14 طابعاً تصور محطات الصليب (طريق آلام المسيح)، إحياءً لذكرى آلام المسيح والطريق المقدس الذي سلكه في القدس إلى صلبه. يوضح كل طابع في السلسلة محطة معينة على طول هذه الرحلة المقدسة، ويعرض رسوماً فنية مفصلة للمشاهد التوراتية بتصاميم ملونة غنية. تظهر الطوابع لحظات مختلفة من إدانة المسيح من قبل بيلاطس البنطي وحتى صلبه ودفنه، بما في ذلك سقطاته ولقاءاته مع أمه مريم وفيرونيكا ومساعدة سمعان القيريني له. يحمل طريق الآلام أهمية خاصة للأردن كحارس للمواقع المسيحية المقدسة في القدس، وهذا الإصدار يعكس التزام المملكة بحماية وتكريم التراث الديني لجميع الأديان. تشمل المجموعة بطاقة تذكارية وأنتجت أيضاً في متغيرات غير مثقبة، مما يجعلها تكريماً طابعياً شاملاً لإحدى أقدس التقاليد المسيحية.
