The Holy Land will take you back in time to experience how life was in the times of Jesus. The church of the Holy Sepulcher is the most important Holy Land pilgrimage destination for the Catholic and Orthodox. The massive church is built over the location of Golgotha (the hill upon which Jesus was crucified) and the tomb in which Jesus was laid before his resurrection.

The Dome of the Rock is the oldest Muslim building standing until our present day in the whole entire world. The rock inside the building is believed to be the stone for creation by Muslims.

Via Dolorosa (the passion way) runs through the Old city from St. Stephen’s Gate to the church of the Holy Sepulcher in the Christian Quarter. The street traces the last step of Jesus before he was crucified. Along Via Dolorosa are the first nine Stations of the Cross (the last five are within the church of the Holy Sepulcher). The stations are fairly well-marked.

The Mount of Olives is where Jesus wept for the destruction of Jerusalem. Among the churches located on the mount are Dominus Flevit, the church of Pater Noster, the Russian church of Mary Magdalene and the church of all nations.

The tomb of King and Prophet David is located on Mount Zion. There is also the city of David which is worth visiting. There are so many other religious and non-religious attraction sites to enjoy and experience in Jerusalem. A trip to Jerusalem would certainly be a memory for life.
