The Western Wall
As the Jewish people come to the Western Wall, fountains are available to ceremonially clean their hands.
Under the Western Wall, tunnels are still being excavated and they are always finding new things.
This section of the wall is 35' long and weighs 15 tons...and it's one, uncut piece of rock!
Some women come down here and pray at this section of the wall which they believe is one of the closest points to the Holy of Holies.
What the tunnels under the Western Wall looks like.
A Jewish soldier with an automatic rifle in his lap, while reading the Torah.
A common site at the Western Wall, men with phalacteries on their foreheads and leather straps on their arms, literally binding the commandments to their forehead and arms.
On the Southern Steps of the Temple. It was here that 3,000 received the Lord on Pentecost.
From the Southern Steps looking towards the Mount of Olives.
The southwest corner of the Temple Walls.
A common sight...soldiers with guns guarding the area.
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
Inside the church, some believe this is the area where Christ was crucified. The other place people believe Christ was crucified was at Golgotha shown in an earlier post.
Some believe that this is where Christ was resurrected. Others believe it was at the Garden Tomb.
