Made our way through the various quarters listening intently to the various histories. It was becoming slightly amusing and confusing what each church/religion claimed was the exact spot of one of the biblical events. Maybe the Last Supper was Here, maybe the entombment was here,maybe this is the first church, maybe tears were shed in this garden, this is the lord's footprint where he departed to heaven. Depending on which sect you follow it could be a difference of a few hundred metres. Amusing yes but still telling the fervor with which people defend these religious aspects. The Mount of Olives walk is quite beautiful regardless your take on things especially the church which carries plaques of the Lord's prayer in scores of languages.
