Day 6 - Temple steps

After seeing the most holy site in Judaism, we went to the Temple Mount (Ophel) excavations to a site which when Neil Armstrong visited he called the step he took more meaningful than his first step on the moon...where we gathered around Suzi and heard why...

These steps were the steps pilgrims would use to enter the temple court...and then Rabbis’s would gather their disciples round and teach.  Some of the steps are recent repairs...but others are original and would be walked on (and sat on) by Jesus as he and his followers obeyed the religious laws and worshipped in the temple as recounted in the gospels.
