Since the fourth century, this location has consistently been recognized as the site where Jesus died, was
buried, and rose again.
The magnificent Altar of the Crucifixion, the most popular place in the cathedral, features a glass
enclosure around the Rock of Calvary, where the crucifixion is thought to have taken place.
Via Dolorosa
Also known as “The Way of the Cross” or “The Way of the Sorrow,” it is a narrow, stone path that is
thought to have been used by Jesus on the way to His crucifixion around 2000 years ago.
Numerous thousands of Christian pilgrims travel this route every year. Christians commemorate and
experience Christ's Passion, Death, and Resurrection here.
Chapel of the Ascension
The Mount of Olives' Chapel of the Ascension commemorates the site where Christ ascended to heaven
and will return to at His second coming.
Christ's ascension to heaven occurred atop the Mount of Olives, located across the Kidron Valley from
Jerusalem's Old City, forty days after his resurrection.
An old chapel serves as the location's marker. Jesus ascended to heaven forty days after his resurrection,
according to Luke 24:51.
The Jordan River
Also known as Nahr Al-Shariat, it is a 251-kilometre-long river in the Middle East that travels from the Sea
of Galilee to the Dead Sea in a roughly north-south direction.
The river is bordered to the east by Jordan and the Golan Heights and to the west by Israel and the West
Bank.
Due to its significance as the site of Jesus’ baptism, the Jordan River is considered the fountain of all holy
water in Christianity. It has attracted people from all over the world for centuries.
Mount of Temptation
Jebel Quruntul, a mountain that towers over the West Bank town of Jericho, is better known by its more
popular English name, Mount of Temptation.
It is thought to be the site of a part of Jesus' temptation as described in the New Testament's Gospels of
Matthew, Mark, and Luke, during which the Devil led Jesus to a "high mountain" and offered him control
over all the kingdoms of the earth if he would bow to him. Of course, we know Jesus declined.
Christian tradition has directly linked a cave atop Jebel Quruntul with the forty days of Jesus' fasting that
came before his temptation since at least the 4th century.
