Day 5

Day 5. Started the morning out with an Israeli bomb squad making our group leave the area we were in because of a threatening backpack left behind by someone. Joined in with a bar mitzvah celebration. Saw steps where Jesus could have walked when entering the temple and a place where money changers/sellers could have set up in the temple area. Visited the Church of the Holy Sepulchre (traditional site believed to be the place of Jesus’ crucifixion and burial). Tomorrow we move out broader from Jerusalem via bus.

Original steps to south Temple Mount entrance – would have been here in Jesus day!
These openings along this Roman road could have been used to change money, sell pigeons etc
The Broad Wall – dates to the time of Hezekiah. This was part of the northern city wall!
