The Third Station marks the place where, according to tradition, Jesus stumbled under the cross for the first time. A stone tablet on the wall depicts His fall. A chapel dedicated to the event was renovated in 1947-1948 with contributions from Polish soldiers who were stationed in the Holy Land during and after World War II. The Station is in the realm of the Armenian Catholic Patriarchate. The Armenian Catholics acquired the place in 1856 then built a big church there in 1881, called  Our Lady of Spasm. (Mater Dolorosa, in Latin). The church altar is designed on the model of Etchmiadzin in Armenia.
