After breakfast we drove to the top of Mt. of Olives and visited the site of the Ascension.
The Bible tells us how Jesus took his disciples to a mount called Olivet and after blessing them, ascended into heaven (Acts 1: 9-12).
The present chapel on the site was built by the crusaders but is now occupied by the Moslems.
We went on inside and saw the legendary footprints which Christ made when he ascended into heaven. Many pilgrims touched the foot prints in the hope of getting blessed.
