Walking across the Kidron Valley from the Mt. of Olives our group enters the Old City of Jerusalem through the Lion’s Gate
Here is our group just inside the Lion’s Gate near the start of the Via dolorosa
We traversed the old city and visited all stations of the cross. The first nine are outside, but the last five are inside the Church of the Sepulcher. There 14 stations of cross. This mosaic depicts the last 3 stations. The picture is shot showing station 14, 13 and 12 from left to right.

On our journey to the old city from the Mount of Olives, through the Garden of Gethsemane. Just beyond the St. Stephen’s gate (the Lions’ Gate) we stopped at  St. Ann’s church, and yet again, met a mother cat and her 2 kittens. We sang Amazing Grace in the church with Mary Helen. The acoustics are incredible. When we stopped singing, the sound reverberated for almost 30 seconds.
