Spiritual Sites In Jerusalem
If there’s one city that you should visit to experience the epicenter of religious and cultural diversity, it is Jerusalem. The Old City is historically where Judaism, Christianity, and Islam converge. Jerusalem has over 5,000 years of rich religious history interwoven in its fabric. With biblical locations like Nazareth, Bethlehem, and Galilee, the narrow streets of the old city are always full of tourists and pilgrims.
Jerusalem represents the passion of Christ for Christians, the place where Mohammed ascended into heaven for Muslims, and the city of the Temple of David for the Jews. With this rich religious history comes archeological sites, sacred spots, and holy places which all make the old city a special place. No wonder it has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Tucked between the Judean Mountains and the Judean Desert, Jerusalem has quite unique, scenic places like the Mount of Olives which allow you to see the entire city. With great landmarks like the Tower of David and the golden Dome of the Rock, white stone graves that have stood the test of time, and echos of church bells ringing alongside Muslim calls for prayer. Visit the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, an overwhelming ancient structure that still gleams in the sunlight as pilgrims rush to touch the stone slap Christ was anointed on before burial, follow devoted faithful to where Christ is believed to have risen, and feel why it is called Old Jerusalem, the Eternal City.
Have a spiritual journey like no other place can offer when you visit these sites.
