Today I went on a tour of Christian Jerusalem(as you read this if you notice any errors, please let me know,"dont quote me." We went through the Old City, meeting at the Lion's Gate. We saw a Christian pilgrimage making their way along Jesus' path with a big cross and palm branches. First we went to the All Nations Church, Church of the Gethsemane (referring to the Olive Press that was most likely there since it is set on the Mt. of Olives. We had perfect timing and walked in during their welcoming of guests and got to see the Communion taking place. We then went to the Crusader's Church, St. Ann, the Grandmother of Jesus which is next a resevoir. We went along several of the locations along the 14 stations of the cross, the path that Jesus took. We went to the Monostary of Flagellation, St. Veronica's, an Eithiopian Church near the Coptic church, where we heard a priest read in Bez, the Bible from t'hillim. and finally ended at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Interesting and informative day.
Shabbat tonight at HUC, potluck afterwards, making roasted potatoes.
