Our Friends in Israel - Day 14 - March 13, 2008

Today is our friends' last day of touring in Israel. They will begin their day in Jerusalem retracing the last steps of Jesus in that Beloved City. I do not pretend to even know which of these sites they will be at. There are those preserved by the Roman Catholics, Greek Orthodox church, etc., and I can only surmise from the very brief description given in the itinerary.

After a visit
to the Upper Room,


they will enter through St. Stephen's Gate

and come to the Pool of Bethesda, where Jesus healed the lame man.



After a time of singing in St. Anne's Church,


they will view the remains of the Antonia Fortress, the site of Our Lord's trial


Following the Way of the Cross



out of the Damascus Gate




to the Garden Tomb,














and they will conclude with a Communion Service at Calvary.
