Today is a very special day. We spend the entire day in the Holy City. I don’t know how Mickey will organize our time but places we expect to visit include:
· The Western Wall – the most sacred place now available to the Jewish people There is a separate section for men and women and all must have a covering for their head.
· The Temple Mount – home of the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque; located on Mt. Moriah where Abraham prepared to offer Isaac; home of all three Temples (Solomon’s, Ezra’s, and Herod’s); now controlled by Muslims; no Bibles allowed

· The Pool of Bethesda – where Jesus healed the lame man (location of St Anne’s Church) We will pause to worship in this acoustical marvel built by the Crusaders over the traditional birthplace of Anne (Hanna) mother of Mary.
