where you will be able to take in the beautiful, panoramic view
of Jerusalem. Historically, the Mount of Olives was a mandatory
transit point for Jesus during many iconic moments. Visit the
Pater Noster Shrine where Jesus taught His disciples the Lord's
Prayer (Pater Noster) (Luke 11:1-4). You will have the opportunity

Jesus brought His disciples here to pray the night before He
was crucified (Luke 22:29-53). The Garden still contains trees
with roots that date back to the time of Jesus. Your next stop,
the Church of All Nations, built over the "Rock of Agony".
This is where Jesus prayed alone on the night of His arrest.
Throughout this time, you are invited to remain in prayer and to
reflect on Christ's agony that He experienced. You will have the
opportunity to visit the Western Wall, which is the last remnant
of the Jewish Temple after it was destroyed in 70 A.D. Continue
with a visit to the house of the High Priest Caiaphas (Church of
St. Peter in Gallicantu). This Church commemorates where Jesus
was examined and eventually imprisoned before the Council in
Jerusalem. It also commemorates Peter's Denial of Christ (John
18:15-18), Peters' repentance, and Jesus' forgiveness of Peter.
You will also visit the Upper Room on Mt. Zion. The Upper Room
is where Jesus and His disciples celebrated the Last Supper
(Matthew 26:17-30) and where Jesus appeared to His disciples
after His Death and Resurrection (Mark 16:14). In addition, visit
the nearby Benedictine Church of the Dormition. Tradition tells
us that this Church is where Mary, the Mother of Jesus, "fell
asleep." At the end of this prayerful day, return to your hotel for
