| This olive tree is over 2000 years old- from the time of Christ. And, it's located in the same location as the Garden of Gethsemane. The new testament said Christ went to Gethsemane, "olive press," and sweat as it were great drops of blood. This tree is from that Olive Grove! |

| The temple mount is right over this wall. This wall was built in the time of the Ottomans. The area below it contains a ton of graves. Christ will come and set foot on the hill opposite this so many people want to be buried here. Not just Christians but Jews and Muslims as well due to it's proximity to the temple mount. (P.S. This picture is taken from the Church of all Nations which houses the Olive trees from Gethsemane seen above.) |
