Jesus falls for the second time.
Again, this is not referenced in the Bible. Station 7 is about 50 yards up from Station 6 where the Via Dolorosa St intersects with Khan es-Zeit St. at a “T” intersection.
The chapel at Station 7 commemorates Jesus falling.
From Station 7 there is a pathway immediately to the left if you are looking at the station, that shoots west from Khan es-Zeit St.. This is Ma’alot E-Khanka St. Head up this path about 20 yards and you will find Station 8 on the wall on the left.
