Jerusalem

Wednesday 24/12/08

This morning our group entered Old Jerusalem via St. Stephen's Gate. From here we walked up to the Pools of Bethesda. Here was one ot the main water reservoir during the time of Jesus and it was also here that Jesus cured a man who was sick for 38 years (John 5:2-13)

Here are the photos of the Pools of Bethesda where we roamed for about 15 minutes and the area was totally dried out.

From the Pool of Bethesda we headed towards St. Anne's Church which is the traditional birth place of Mary, mother of Jesus. St. Anne would then be Jesus's grandmother :-)
