Our guide provided us with more historical information to explain such churches as Our Father, where Jesus Christ taught His disciples the Lord's Prayer, which is written in many languages on the walls outside, including those of Biblical times, as well as Serbian. Inside was the tomb of Princess Aurelie Marie de Bossi, who'd bought back the originally Byzantine church from the Muslims and restored it.
Next was the Wailing Wall, which is partitioned so that men are on one side and women on the other. There were many Jews praying at their holiest place.
Later in the day along the "Via Dolorosa" - "The way of grief.", we passed the church of St. Stephen the first martyr and we made a stop at the Church of the Nativity of the Mother of God, the place where she was born, and offered our prayers to her.
Another holy place we visited was the site where Jesus Christ healed the paralytic, the pool of Bethesda.
Following that, we walked Christs' painful route on the way to Golgotha before crucifiction. The walk began from St. Stephen the Martyr's Gate and concluded at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. There are 14 stations, specifically marking the locations of His condemnation, humiliation, flagellation, and agony, which He endured for our salvation. Within the church of the Holy Sepulchre, we again venerated those places connected with His crucifiction and death and, also, saw the tomb in which Joseph of Aramethia had been buried in because he'd given his new one for Jesus Christ, fulfilling Scripture.
Not a real good-bye because we're carrying all our transfiguring memories and experiences home in our hearts.
