GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE - Ancient olive trees shade this enclosure on the Mount of Olives overlooking Jerusalem.
It was here in this garden that Judas betrayed Christ. Church of All Nations - Built at Gethsemane in 1924, the church
features interior domes decorated with mosaic symbols of the countries that contributed to its construction. The Rock of
Agony, where Christ endured His Passion is located at the Altar.
THE WESTERN OR WAILING WALL - Enter the Jewish quarter through the Dung Gate. Revered as the sole remnant of the 2nd
Temple (destroyed by Rome in 70 A.D.), the massive Western Wall is actually part of the Temple Mount foundation erected by
Herod the Great. The Wall is the most sacred Jewish shrine in Jerusalem. From the plaza you can view the Temple Mount dominated
by the El Asqa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, sacred to the Muslims.
VIA DOLOROSA - The Way of Suffering and observe the Stations of the Cross. Proceed uphill through the city's narrow and
crowded cobbled streets towards Calvary and the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, site of the final Stations of the Cross.
