Jerusalem

Someone is entering the walled Old City of Jerusalem


The round disk with the number one symbolizes the first station of the cross,
where Jesus begins his journey of carrying the cross he was to be crucified on.

A path within the walls.

The view of the Dome of the Rock is a Muslim shrine,
as seen from the window of a Muslim school.
Spectacular!

Another view of the Dome of the Rock.


This is the place where Jesus is believed
to have been crowned with thorns.

This is where Jesus is believed to have been nailed to the cross.

Another confessional

The ceiling of this church features a crown of thorns.

This is the fifth station of the cross where
Simon is believed to have carried the cross for Jesus.

The seventh station of the cross.

The eighth station of the cross.

This is the ninth station of the cross.

The last four stations of the cross are located inside the Church of the Holy Sepulcher.
It is believed to be where Jesus was crucified and buried.


View of a courtyard

The area where people are kneeling is believed to be where
Jesus was laid after being taken down from the cross.

This is believed to be the tomb of Jesus.

Another view of the tomb.

Another view of where Jesus was laid after his death.

 To walk where Jesus walked was an amazing experience.  You knew you were walking on sacred ground.

I'll remember this always.
