Final Day
Today was our final day of the trip and it was a very cold and rainy day. Needless to say, we hoped that we would have a break in the rain to enjoy some of the last sites of our trip, but that didn’t happen! There are very few pictures for today because the rain did not allow us to get many.
Garden Tomb
We started today by visiting the Garden Tomb which is another possible site for Jesus’ crucifixion and burial in the tomb that is in this garden. One gospel account mentions that there is a site outside the city and this is thought to be the site. The tomb is not big and I tried to incorporate it into pictures in the video below. It does seem a little more authentic than the Church of the Holy Sepulchre to me.
Israeli Museum
Our final stop was to the Israeli Museum which has a huge stone model built outside of what the city of Jerusalem would have looked like at Jesus’ time. Again, the rain was so bad that we didn’t get to see it for a long time or in good lighting for photos, but at least we did get to see it!
