Chapel of the Ascension, Mount of Olives, Jerusalem

 As Jerusalem prepares for Shabbat early Friday morning, the guide book advised, it is best to visit Mount of Olives. The best way is to take the arab bus outside of Damascus gate, head up the Mt of Olives. From there work your way down and visit all the churches that dot the mount. This was what I did, starting with the chapel of Ascension. Other groups seem to have the same idea, here we see a group of visitors from India.

 The chapel of the Ascension, here is where Jesus ascended into heaven.




This is supposed to be the spot where Jesus ascended to heaven.
