Jerusalem Old City
by Kuznetsov_Sergey
The Old City is about 1 square kilometre walled area within the modern city of Jerusalem.
Until the middle of the XIXth century this area constituted the entire city of Jerusalem.
Traditionally, the Old City has been divided into four quarters, although the current designations were introduced only in the 19th century. Today the Old City is divided into the Muslim Quarter, the Christian Quarter, the Jewish Quarter and the Armenian Quarter.
The Old City is home to several sites of great religious importance: the Temple Mount and its Western Wall for Jews, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre for Christians, and the Dome of the Rock and al-Aqsa Mosque for Muslims.

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.'
