Exploring the palm sunday walk from top of mt of olives
This morning we drive to the summit of the “Mt. of Olives” to visit the “Chapel of the Ascension” where it is believed to be the place where Jesus ascended to heaven and the “Church of Pater Noster”. Walking the Palm Sunday Road, we will visit “the chapel of Dominus Flevit”. There we have a wonderful panoramic view of the city of Jerusalem.
Continue our walk towards the “Garden of Gethsemane”, located at the base of the Mount of Olives. This garden is where Jesus prayed on the night of his betrayal, and visit the “Church of all Nations” situated within the Garden, also known as the Church of Agony.
Drive towards "Ain Karem"
Begin your visit at the “Church of the Visitation”, believed to be the site where Mary visited her cousin Elizabeth after the Annunciation. While walking in the village we will visit “Mary’s Spring”, a natural spring believed to be where Mary drank water during her visit to Elizabeth. This site holds significance in Christian and Muslim traditions. We will keep exploring this beautiful village and walk towards the Church of “St. John the Baptist”, which commemorates the birthplace of John the Baptist.
We will end our tour by adding a sweet touch to our exploration of this historically and spiritually rich area in Jerusalem by enjoying “Gelato” at one of the best places in the country.
"On that day his feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, east of Jerusalem, and the Mount of Olives will be split in two from east to west, forming a great valley, with half of the mountain moving north and half moving south.".
Zechariah 14:4
