Day 11

Day 11:



The picture on the left is from the current street level (~30 ft above street level at the time of Christ)












While visiting the Temple Institute, we were shown the components of the Menorah. Spike is holding a reconstruction of the top of one of the seven candles. The actual 6 ft. version is shown on the right!



We visited the Western 'Wailing' Wall. Visitors can place their petitions to God on a small piece of paper & tuck it into a crack.The prayer area is divided into men & women sides











Below is a video clip of the Wailing wall on Shabbot. The Jewish worshipers are nicely dressed for this festive evening.

The narrow streets through the Muslim district of Jerusalem are lined with shops that display their colorful wares. This was along the Via Dolorosa.











The Church of the Holy Sepulcher, is one of two sites thought to be where Jesus was laid to rest.
