Actually, it's just a garden with olive trees....
What has become clear to us in Jerusalem by now...especially at places like this, everyone tries to be a part of it.
Here a Catholic church, there are Protestants present. Around the corner, you can find Greeks, and at the end of the street, there is an Ethiopian Church.
It is important for everyone to be a part of Jerusalem, after all, it's the promise.
So, it's not surprising that when climbing the mountain above the garden, you can see a huge cemetery, where not only Israeli Jews are buried but also Jews from all over the world.
We make our way back, cross a few streets, and finally end up in the neighborhood of the Temple Mount.
After briefly visiting the Bethesda Pool (which is missing a lot of water ;)), we went to the Western Wall.
The sun is shining again from the sky, and we try to find an appropriate entrance across from the Temple Mount.
Problem: Three out of four entrances are exclusively for Muslims.
As mentioned earlier, all imaginable denominations are present.
The other day I reported about the path to Golgotha... well. there seems to be another one :D (so Jesus did perform many miracles, but being crucified in two places that are four kilometers apart...? - Christians, make up your minds).
The second conceivable location of Jesus' burial site is called the 'Garden Tomb'.
Historically speaking, the Catholic site seems more logical to us. Nevertheless, let's remain impartial ;).
Perhaps this sign was the confirmation from above? (oh, today is Sunday)
