Our next stop was to the site where Jesus was kept in jail the night before the crucifixion.
We went to the Western wall and prayed. The men were separated from the women. The women complained that their area was smaller and cramped.
The Western Wall, sometimes referred to as the Wailing Wall is an important Jewish religious site located in the Old City of Jerusalem. Just over half the wall, including its 17 courses located below street level, dates from the end of the Second Temple period, being constructed around 19 BCE by Herod the Great. The remaining layers were added from the 7th century onwards.
We walked the Via Dolorosa, the route that Jesus took between his condemnation by Pilate and his crucifixion and burial.
Along the way, we went to the basement of a church where they have preserved the actual road from the time of Jesus.
Our last stop of this day was Garden Tomb. The Garden Tomb, is considered by some to be the site of the burial and resurrection of Jesus.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garden_Tomb
It is adjacent to adjacent to a site believed to be Calvary or Golgotha the site, outside of ancient Jerusalem early 1st century walls, ascribed to the crucifixion of Jesus. It is called "skull hill" because it looks like a skull.
The place where the cross was is now a very busy bus terminal.
