Another Day

Today we went into the Old City and walked around with more of a New Testament emphasis. It was a good day, with a lot more time spent in museums (with A/C) rather than, say, on the original temple mount steps in the blazing sun. This is going to be a short post, so I'll just put up some pictures.


Don't worry...we haven't converted to Islam. But the Dome of the Rock is still a beautiful building, and it sits right over the probable place of the Holy of Holies on the Temple Mount.

This is the first Protestant church in Israel. It's an Anglican church built around 1850, and they work on Jewish outreach.

We went to the Western (Wailing) Wall again. This time it wasn't Shabbat, so I was able to get some pictures.

This is the non-traditional site of Golgotha and the Garden Tomb. The traditional and more probable location is at the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. But it was still neat to go to and remember Christ, His work on the cross, and His resurrection. This is their supposed Golgotha, followed by their supposed Garden Tomb.



































A coonskin moment at the Garden Tomb. He is risen indeed!




















When we got back this evening, there was a wedding party going on here at the Moshav. I feel sorry that this guy at the party has to share his name with a certain someone else.

















UPDATE:
Actually, I found out the next day it wasn't a wedding party. There was actually a tour going through Israel funded by Benny Hinn, and they stopped at the Moshav for lunch.
