Jerusalem is the capital of Israel and a city with a history that dates back several millennia before the beginning of our era. It is home to sacred sites of three religions: Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
The Mount of Olives is believed to be the place where resurrection will begin when the Messiah ascends to its summit. The observation platform stands at a height of 793 meters above sea level, making it the highest point among the mountains of Jerusalem.
The Western Wall, also known as the Wailing Wall, is one of the holiest sites in Judaism. It was built approximately between 37 and 4 BCE and is the only remaining part of the Temple Mount fortifications from the reign of Herod the Great. Its official Hebrew name is Kotel Ma’aravi, which translates as the “Western Wall.” The name “Wailing Wall” comes from the worshipers who come to mourn the destruction of the temple. There is also a belief that water droplets appear on the wall, resembling tears. The last time this phenomenon was observed in Jerusalem was in 1940. Over a million notes with the most sacred wishes are left here each year.
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, also known as the Church of the Resurrection of Christ, is located at the end of the Via Dolorosa, the path that Jesus Christ carried the cross to the place of his crucifixion. It is here that the Holy Fire descends every year on the eve of Orthodox Easter. The church’s premises include Calvary (the hill where the Savior was crucified), the Stone of Anointing (the place where the body was prepared after being taken down from the cross), and the Holy Sepulchre (the rock-cut tomb where Jesus was buried and resurrected on the third day after the crucifixion).
The Church of the Nativity was built on the site of the cave with a manger (Grotto of the Nativity) where Jesus was born. The church’s premises include the Bethlehem Star, indicating the well where Mary washed her son, a depression in the floor marking the location of the Christ’s crib, and an icon of the Virgin Mary with a smiling face.
The Dead Sea is located between Israel and Jordan and is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world. Due to its high salt content, the water makes the body float, and with the guidance of the guide and following simple recommendations, one can lie on it while reading a newspaper.
