Israel Day 3 - Part 2

At lunch we went to one of the only stores owned by Christians in Jerusalem.  They had tons of olive wood items and jewelry you can only get in the Holy Land.  Then we headed out to another authentic lunch.  From there we went to one of my other favorite places Caiphus house.  This is where Jesus was brought from the garden of gethsemene while he waited to be put on trial.  We stood on the rocks where he walked after sweating tears of blood.  We stood and prayed in the hole of a cave where He was lowered, and held, and alone.  It was so moving and amazing.
