Closing Ceremony of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre Rarely does anyone have the opportunity to witness the full closing ceremony of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is the main holy site and pilgrimage destination for Christians around the world. The church is shared by six different Christian denominations. To avoid disputes among the denominations, according to tradition, the keys to the main entrance of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre are held by the Muslim Joudeh family, while the right to open the door belongs to the Christian Nuseibeh family. This privilege has been passed down from father to son for many centuries. Only on this excursion will you discover the mysteries of this ceremony.
Mishkenot Sha'ananim Quarter You will hear the fascinating story of the "Abode of Tranquility." It was the first residential complex and Jewish neighborhood outside the walls of the Old City. In the early days, the residents of this quarter were afraid to spend the night due to continuous threats of attack. Today, the area has transformed into one of the most picturesque parts of the promised land's capital.
The Western Wall - the most sacred site for Jews, a place of memory for the First and Second Temples, and the dream of the Third Temple. It also plays a crucial role in remembering the victims of oppression.
