Dome of the Rock and Western Wall

We left the hotel at 7 am Monday morning to arrive early at the entrance for the Dome of the Rock and Western Wall of the Temple (Wailing wall).  It was a beautiful morning.  We were thankful to get to see these historical sacred sites.










 Some of our group took a special trip to see Masadah, while the rest stayed in Jerusalem.  At Lutheran Church of the Redeemer we climbed the 178 steps to the top of the tower and then visited the archaeological site beneath the church. 



After lunch we walked the Old City Wall.

  1. Thank you for the wonderful pictures. They are a great view of what you're experiencing. Thanks also for the stories you tell of so many struggles for the Christians in that part of the world. We are so happy to know you spent some time with Angela and Marty in their ministry and we pray for all of you! Safe travels home!
