Jerusalem Christian (2 routes)
Description:
Christian Jerusalem
Christian Jerusalem is the Garden of Gethsemane, which is revered as the place of prayer of Jesus Christ on the night of his arrest. The Church of the Holy Sepulcher, where, according to legend, the Apostles were buried the Most Holy Mother of God. It is one of the greatest shrines of all Christians. You will visit the Mount of Zion, to which the flow of pilgrims and tourists does not run out. You will be delighted by the Last Supper Upper - the place where the Savior performed his last Easter meal. You will climb the Mount of Olives, from the height of which offers a stunning view of the holy city of Jerusalem - the mystery of the ancient East. And you will also see the tomb of King David, of which the Holy Scripture says: "And David rested with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David."
Next, we will walk with you through the Jaffa Gate. This is the beginning of the journey from the old town to the port of Jaffa. This gate is the main gate of the Armenian and Arab Christian quarters. We will continue our journey through the Christian Quarter, which began to be built around the 4th century AD, and where there are about forty Christian shrines. We will also visit the Arab part of old Jerusalem, which is dominated by Arab culture.
We invite you to visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre – this is the main place of pilgrimage for Christians of all faiths and is of great interest to tourists. This temple is located on the site of the crucifixion, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
In the Jewish Quarter we invite you to Cardo Street, which in ancient Rome and Byzantium was the main shopping street. There you will be able to visit Jewish shops and carved into the rock of an ancient shopping shop. Well, it is impossible not to approach the Western Wall - part of the ancient wall of the destroyed Temple. This shrine is a sacred place for the Jews. Here with hope come praying Jews, as well as people of different nationalities and put notes with their requests. The Garbage Gate, which is considered the oldest gate of the old city, through which garbage from the Temple was once taken out. That's the name.
I hope you will be interested in this tour. We will welcome you and tell you everything in detail. Meeting with the history of our country will enrich your knowledge about a small, but such a beautiful country.
There are many divine persons in Israel.
Living legends and biblical legends.
You can't take the story in a suitcase.
So in order to calm my sadness,
To Holy Land.
I'll be right back!
