Trip of a Lifetime - Day 13


Today we drive to the Mt of Olives to behold the breathtaking panorama of the Holy City of Jerusalem. We will go to the church of the Ascension, descending to the Garden of Gethsemane with its ancient olive grove where Jesus prayed and sweat drops of blood the night before his crucifixion. Late in the afternoon we will visit the Garden Tomb and celebrate a communion service. We will cross the Kidron Valley where we will walk through Stephen's Gate and to the Pool of Bethesda.
