QUICK TOUR PART II

If you haven't looked at the post before this, we recommend it. There was too much to squeeze into one day, and far too much to squeeze into one post. Many folks said it could take a week to tour only the holy sites and much longer for the cultural scene.

During the morning, among the various places we visited, we had walked part of the traditionally accepted route Jesus took from His judgement to His death. In the early afternoon as we completed that route, we headed out of the Damascus Gate.

The Bible accounts tell us that Jesus was crucified and buried outside the walls of the City. We walked a short distance to a garden that fit the description of  the location of the tomb.

This picture shows the hill that many consider to be the place of a skull, Golgotha. Can you see eye-holes?

And this is a photograph taken at a time when more of the lower part of the hill was visible, showing a mouth, too.

                       Behold!
                 The empty tomb!

We're sitting in front of the door where the large stone would have been.
