It was definitely a good day.  We started with the garden tomb, which is the logical place of Jesus’ tomb.  The bible tells us that Jesus was crucified at Golgatha or the skull.  Look here at this pic…looks like a skull yes?

 Then you can track a bunch of stuff in the bible and point to a wealthy mans tomb in a garden.  Check out this pic…..this was Jesus’ tomb. 

The garden was beautiful and I got a lot of wonderful pics and can wait to share more with you when I get home.   But for now, that’s it of the garden.  We had a service in the garden and then went to the place Jesus was arrested, tortured and tried.  Here is a pic of the stairs they brought Jesus up after being arrested. 

The church that sits on this site was one of the most beautiful we’ve seen.  The entire interior was covered with mosaic tiles depicting everything from the last supper to Jesus being tortured.  To find it we had to follow all these pics of cocks and there was a giant cock weather vain on the top of the cross.  I have no need to tell you how hard I laughed, so I got pics to share with you….I present…the cock top church.

Last pic, we were in the jewish quarter today and the cross walk sign was funny.  Look closely at his hat….hehe.  I almost fell over.  If you don’t get why it’s funny, you need to come visit me in New York. 

My time in Israel is done.  It will take me some time to truly process it all, but it’s been significant.  Tonight, we go to Rome…
