St. Mark's Cathedral

This is the basement of St. Mark's Cathedral and might be the room where the Last Supper was held.


This nun (I think she was a nun) ran the St. Mark's Cathedral, a little chapel in the Jewish quarter. She is one of the 7 million remaining people in the world that speak Aramaic. She sang the Lord's Prayer for us in Aramaic.

Walking Where Christ Walked

This is a Herodian stone that Christ most likely walked on while walking to the Temple Mount.

This is a first century neighborhood just south of the Temple Mount.

Men praying at the South Wall of the Temple Mount. They are all standing on Herodian Stone.

Oh Holy Night

The Church of Nativity, Bethlehem

We started studying the New Testament with a visit to Bethlehem. While in Bethlehem we were able to visit Bethlehem University and talk to some of the students. It was very interesting listening to their stories and talking to them about growing up and living on the other side of the Separation wall. After our visit with the students we toured the Church of Nativity which is built over the cave which tradition suggests Christ was born in. After our tour we ran through the streets of Bethlehem looking for Bethlehem blankets, we were unsuccessful, but it was fun to see the city. We ended the day in Shepherds Field talking about the birth of Christ.
