Pictures for the Places around Jerusalem












Jesus' birth place













Place of Jesus' Ascension













Herodium (the big circle thing in the middle was a tower, that would have been twice as tall)












Gethsemane












Church at Gethsemane



Fun fact of the day: some scholars translate the word “inn” differently. That same greek word is the same word that is used to describe the upper room that Jesus and his disciples had their last passover meal. So some scholars suggest that this upper room would have been the upper room to Joseph’s relatives big house, and since the house was full of relatives, it was full...so in an attempt to get some peace, mary went down to the basement stable to do her business...(and hence them still being at their house 2 years later when the Maggi arrived).
