We dressed in our “modest wear” as we were hoping to get to the Temple Mount today, but learned it is closed until tomorrow. \u00a0We met a beautiful Jewish man, “Michael” (say it with the Hebrew ‘ch’) who talked with us and sang some Psalms for us in Hebrew… super cool.<\/p>\n

He also led us through the Zion gate to Mt Zion, where we saw David’s tomb and went into the upper room.<\/p>\n

This is where we deposited the prayers of our friends back home. \u00a0We were told we couldn’t put them in the Western Wall, but found out later we could have… BUT – I like where they are better. \u00a0Those prayers are sitting under a copper olive tree in the upper room.<\/p>\n

(The room built by the Crusaders, is touted to be in the same location as the Last Supper & where the 120 were at Pentacost when Holy Spirit was released…right above David’s tomb.)<\/p>\n

Because it is the Sabbath, no photographs were allowed in the tomb room, but here’s the upper room:<\/p>\n

We then went to the Western Wall.<\/p>\n

**Correction: Chris wasn’t supposed to take that picture AT ALL.**<\/p>\n

We took a walk around and then through the city, had a great lunch & then made our way back to the apartment to rest.<\/p>\n

Now, we are about to go back out with no agenda, been resting, cooling off, doing laundry and posting. \u00a0 It’s 4:02 pm, here, about 9 am for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
