This prominent site separates the Temple Mount from the Judean Desert to the east and is recognized as the place from which Jesus ascended to heaven (Acts 1:11) and where he is anticipated to return. The Mount of Olives is frequently referenced in the New Testament as part of the route from Jerusalem to Bethany and where Jesus expressed his sorrow for Jerusalem (known as Flevit super illam in Latin). Jesus ascended to heaven from this location according to Acts 1:9–12. • Visit the Garden of Gethsemane, situated at the base of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, where Jesus experienced great anguish and was arrested before his crucifixion, as recorded in the four Gospels. The site, rich in Christian significance, features several small olive groves located on church property. • Stop at Mount Zion to see King David's Tomb and the Room of the Last Supper. In biblical terms, “Mount Zion” often refers to the city itself rather than just the hill. It is considered the dwelling place of Yahweh, the God of Israel (Isaiah 8:18; Psalm 74:2), where He is recognized as king (Isaiah 24:23) and where He anointed King David (Psalm 2:6). While the Tomb of King David is viewed as a highly sacred Jewish site, researchers are uncertain whether it is indeed his burial location. The Bible states that King David was buried in the City of David, located at the Temple Mount's base. The Room of the Last Supper, on an upper level of King David's Tomb, is regarded as one of Jerusalem's holiest Christian sites, where the last supper occurred according to tradition. • Enter the Old City and stroll through the Armenian and Jewish quarters to the recently excavated Cardo, the Roman Road. The southern segment of the Cardo, found in the Jewish Quarter, was constructed during the reign of Emperor Justinian (527-565) and connects to the earlier Roman northern section, linking the major churches of Byzantine Jerusalem: the Holy Sepulcher and the Nea Church. • Visit the Jewish Wailing Wall, known as The Kotel. This ancient limestone wall in the Old City is a small part of a much longer retaining wall called the "Western Wall." Its significance in Judaism arises from its proximity to the Temple Mount, making it the holiest place where Jews can pray due to entry restrictions at the Temple Mount. The Foundation Stone, Judaism's most sacred site, is located behind it. • Proceed to the Christian Quarter, walk the Via Dolorosa, and explore the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The Via Dolorosa is a historic route in the Old City symbolizing the path Jesus took under Roman guard to his crucifixion. This narrow stone path, known as the “Sorrowful Way” or “Way of Suffering,” reflects the route believed to have been taken by Jesus nearly 2000 years ago and is an important site for Christian rituals and commemorations of Christ's Passion, Death, and Resurrection. • The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is regarded as the most sacred location in Christianity, marking the sites of Jesus' crucifixion, burial, and resurrection. This site, identified by Helena as The Calvary, is where Jesus was crucified. Traditionally known as Calvary or Golgotha (meaning “Skull” in Aramaic), it is mentioned in all four Gospels (Matthew 27:33, Mark 15:22, Luke 23:33, and John 19:17). • Visit the Card
