We will begin today on the beautiful Mt. of Olives to behold the famous, breathtaking panorama of the Holy City. Our pilgrimage will proceed down the Old Palm Sunday Road to the ancient olive grove at the Garden of Gethsemane. Then we will continue on to the Church of the Agony (Church of All Nations) where tradition says Jesus prayed before his arrest. We will enter Jerusalem through the Zion Gate and proceed to the Western (Wailing) Wall, the holiest site in Judaism. Beyond the wall lies the 35-acre temple area purchased by King David (2 Samuel 24:18-25), which is called the Temple Mount. This area is the third holiest shrine in Islam, housing both the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the magnificent Dome of the Rock. From the temple area we will make our way to St. Stephen's Gate to walk the Via Dolorosa – including St. Anne's Crusader Church, Pools of Bethesda, the Pavement (where Jesus stood while being tried by Pilate), Ecce Homo Arch, and the ancient Cardo. We will continue to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and then conclude our day with a short walk to the original steps that Jesus walked as he entered the Temple area. We finish off our sightseeing today with a visit to Bethlehem as we pass by Rachel's tomb on the outskirts and then visit the Church of the Nativity and Shepherd's Field. We will have dinner and overnight in Jerusalem.
