The Church of Dominus Flexit -... by Wings2Fly
The Church of Dominus Flexit - 'the Lord wept.' This church is on the slopes of the Mount of Olives facing the Temple Mount. The present church was built on the ruins of an ancient church and marks the spot where Jesus wept over the city of Jerusalem which would be destroyed shortly.I experienced Yad Vashem, the Mount of Remembrance. Here in Jerusalem, seat of Jewish spirituality and learning is the memorial for the study and commemoration of the greatest tragedy in Jewish history, the Holocaust. Within the Children's Memorial Garden, an underground structure was built commemorating the one and a half million Jewish children who perished in the Holocaust. Three dimensional photos of children are exhibited. Five burning memorial candles a multiplied into an infinite number, symbolizing the souls of children who perished and whose names are heard in the background. 'Their death a fever of sorrow; their memories soft and warm.'
