Beautiful flowers at the Garden of Gethsemane;

The Garden of Gethsemane - so very beautiful!

These trees easily could have been
in the garden when Christ was at
this spot.

Jewish Cemetary located on the Mount of Olives

We are standing in the cell where Christ was kept
the night before being taken to Pilate for sentencing.

Security entering Bethleham - which is now
controlled by the Palestinians.

The group going through security to pass over
to Bethleham which is controlled by the Palestinians.
We had to leave our Jewish guide behind and met
up with a Moslem gentleman.

Walking through security~

Going down to see the birthplace of Christ.
This location is owned by the Greek Orthodox
Church and obviously have made it very
ordnate which takes away from the spirit.

According to tradition this is the birthplace of the
Savior.

The Wailing Wall with the men on the upper side
and the women below the divider. They pray
separately (similar to our temples).

You see Israeli soldiers everywhere -
we never felt unsafe.
