More Israel

Here are photos of a few sites we saw in Israel that take us to where Jesus actually lived and taught.
Dad and I enjoyed being there at a time so close to the Christmas season.

 The River Jordan

The Pool of Bethesda - Where Christ healed the lame man.  Dad loves this story and the rendition of it painted by Carl Bloch.

The Western Wall of the Temple - or the Wailing Wall - named in part because it is the last standing wall (the retaining wall) of the second temple - rebuilt on the temple site where Jesus taught.  People - and I was one of them - line up to pray at the wall and leave their written prayers in it's crevices.
