JERUSALEM. A beautiful city, and so much to see.

The old city wall has been preserved. It was fascinating to walk through the markets inside.



The Western Wall 0r Wailing Wall

This was the men's side. People tuck prayers into the crevices of the wall.

Dome of the Rock - Jerusalem



BYU Jerusalem Centre

Our tour group attended church at the BYU Jerusalem Centre. Beautiful views of Jerusalem from the ceiling to floor windows of the assembly hall. The centre has been designed and oriented to maximise being built on a hill overlooking Jerusalem.

Bethlehem

Always wanted to visit Bethlehem. Now when we sing the Christmas carols, we will be able to picture it in our minds.
