| Chapel of the Ascension, located on the Mount of Olives, believed to be the site where Jesus ascended into Heaven 40 days after His Resurrection. |
 |
| Stone believed to contain the footprint of Jesus when He ascended into Heaven. |
 |
| Mount of Olives: where Jesus hid with His disciples, taught them to pray the Our Father, wept over Jerusalem, and entered into His agony in the garden the night before He died. |
 |
| Pater Noster Church (Pater Noster = Our Father) |
 |
| The two arches in the middle of the picture are where Christ entered Jerusalem (Palm Sunday). |
 |
| Church of Dominus Flevit: where Jesus looked upon the city of Jerusalem and wept. The cross in the middle of the window lines up with Mount Calvary in the distance. |
 |
| Garden of Gethsemane |
 |
| Gethsemane: "these trees witnessed the agony of Christ" (our tour guide, RJ). |
 |
| Church of Agony / Gethsemane: offering the Precious Blood at Mass a few feet from where it was first shed (Rock of Agony). INCREDIBLE. |
 |
| View from the Church of the Visitation...Mary traveled 90 miles over rough terrain while pregnant with Jesus to visit her cousin, Elizabeth, who was pregnant with John the Baptist. |
