The Garden Tomb






No words to express what we were feeling...

Golgotha, Place of the Skull


This is a picture of a hill that is to the left. It looks like a skull which is why they called it Golgotha.

You can sort of see it behind John. We are convinced that Jesus was crucified on that hill behind John. This was one of the most moving places for me.

David and Goliath


This is the hill that David came down to fight Goliath. He got his stone from the now dried out brook where the people are getting rocks from.

Masada


Masada is one of Herod's 3 fortress cities built around 37 BC. It's located in the wilderness of Judea just off of the Dead Sea and 15 miles north of Sodom
