We visited the Basilica which is considered to be the most important place in Mt. Zion. The church has a staircase which leads down to a crypt venerated as Mary's home after Jesus's Resurrection. It is also considered as the place for her "death". In the centre of the crypt lies a life-size statue of the sleeping Mary. It is made of cherry wood and ivory.

Lunch today was at The Gate restaurant. We had grilled upside down chicken with savoury rice.
