Out on the Town


Be careful when you go out on the town in Jerusalem you might end up riding a camel…

The day before all this excitement , I visited the Garden Tomb where Jesus was buried. The beautiful landscaped Garden Tomb with flowers and areas for reading and prayer adds to its spiritual message. Many people touched by the experience often go into meditation. The next day my tourist experience became more adventurous when I continued on to the Mount of Olives where Jesus prayed and triumphantly entered Jerusalem on the donkey one week before Easter. The scripture according to Matthew 21:1-11 says people praised and worshipped Him and threw olive palms and cloaks at his feet. There is also a memorial of the Lords prayer written in several languages. This is proof that the word of God that unites humankind with one powerful prayer is alive all over the world.

My escapades continued when I had the opportunity to ride a camel and ended with song and dance in west Jerusalem and dinner with my friend Kathy. It was a lovely day.
