Jerusalem underground
Description:
Your unforgettable journey with a personal guide through the underground Jerusalem will begin in a place three thousand years ago - the city of David. Walk sometimes up to the belt in the water, in pitch darkness, 500 meters in the thickness of the rock. It's not for the faint of heart! No one will be indifferent.
Returning to the light of God, we will approach the main shrine of the Jews, the Wailing Wall. You will learn about its long and difficult history, as well as the history of the Jewish people.
Then we will go down to the depths of a five-story house!, to the very foot of the Wailing Wall. Our path goes through the tunnel again. The Hasmonean tunnel. To supply the Temple Mount with water on the orders of the Jewish kings, it was dug more than two thousand years ago.
A little bit more sun and blue sky, and again plunge into darkness. Now in the dark underground of the Middle Ages under the slabs of the monastery of the Sisters of Zion.
And from here immediately to the prison where the Savior was kept with the robber Varrava. The mournful path will lead us to the church of the Coptic monastery of St. Anthony.
We will descend an ancient narrow steep staircase to an unusual and eerie underground reservoir of Roman-Byzantine times. Tradition says that after bathing in this pool, in the IV century, the Byzantine Queen Helena received a revelation about the place where Golgotha is located. We will visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
In conclusion, we will go down to the lowest place of the Temple, its dungeon. According to legend, it was here during the first excavations organized when Queen Helena visited Jerusalem that the Life-Creating Cross of the Lord was found.
