The Church of Our Lady of Sorrows, also called the Armenian Chapel of Our Lady of the Spasm, is an Armenian Catholic church in the Old City of Jerusalem, erected in 1881. Located at the fourth station of the Via Dolorosa, near the Ecce Homo Arch, it commemorates Jesus' encounter with his mother on the way to his crucifixion.
