Attractions
There are a lot of biblical events associated with this place. Jesus Christ preached on Mount of Olives. Moreover, at that place he foresaw the future of Jerusalem and the destruction of the Temple, prayed in the olive grove of Gethsemane, was arrested due to the betrayal of one of his apostles - Judah. Also, in ancient times, the prophet Zechariah made a prediction about the end of the world. According to that predicition, Mount of Olives will split into two parts, and then the resurrection of the dead will begin. On the western slope of the mountain is a Jewish cemetery, where the son of King David Absalom was once buried, and now prominent statesmen of Israel are buried there.
The Western Wall or the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem is the wall preserved after the destruction of the First and Second Temples of the Jews. The Arabs, who saw how the Jews grieve over the destruction of the temple, called this place the Wailing Wall. Currently, there is a tradition: when you standing at the front of Wailing Wall you can make the most secret dreams. You can also put a note between the stones of the Wall with a cherished desire, which will certainly come true. When you are planning to visit the Wailing Wall, it should be remembered that this is possible only in modest clothing that covers the knees and shoulders.
Church of the Holy Sepulcher (Church of the Resurrection) - the main shrine and place of pilgrimage for all Christians around the world. It is the place of the convergence of the Holy Fire, were Jesus Christ was crucified, buried and resurrected.
Mount Zion
One of the most sacred places for the Jews. As in ancient times, now Zion is not just a mountain - it is a symbol of the house.
Once on this hill, located in the southwestern part of Jerusalem, there was a fortress. King David captured it when the city was conquered. Now there is part of the wall that separates the Old City.
