Day 4 - Jerusalem

About 7:30am - in old Jerusalem, fresh bread with ground herbs & coffee

The Temple Mount

Entered through Arab security right beside the Jewish, we had to walk up a ramp to the Temple Mount

[old cleansing area before entering the temple to pray]

[the Eastern Gate - existed in Jesus' time]

[The acoustics where amazing in this church. So the thing to do was to sing, of course :-).

When we started to sing the presence of God was so strong many began to weep.]

Walk through old Jerusalem

~Via De La Rosa~

The path of the "stations of the cross".

Each station represented an event surrounding Christ's crucification.

[yes this was Catholic]

[one of the stations - Crown of Thorns Church]

[walk, walk, walk]

The Temple Institute

Where we able to view some of the furnishing waiting

to be installed in temple when the Jews reclaim the Temple Mount.

[model of King Harod's Temple

this would have been what stood in Jesus' time]

The Kidron Valley

We were able to walk down this valley Jesus walked through many times.
