"I have kube in my underpants:" Jerusalem Day Two

I'm not going to explain that title, I just didn't want to call this plain old "Jerusalem Day Two." Someone did say that today, but there was no kube in the underpants.

Today was another amazing day in Jerusalem. This time, just photos:

p.s. photo credits to Libby for a couple of these, the ones that are artsy and good :)

Dome in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre


Calvary (Golgotha): In the middle is an altar of the spot where Jesus was crucified, and on either side the rock of Calvary can be seen through glass


Lighting candles at the shrine on Calvary


People wait in line to pray at the foot of the shrine to the crucifixion. It was incredible to see so many different people from around the world so moved by this spot


Lunch (and dinner, since as you can see this was quite the feast)


Kube (pronounced like koo-buh)


The local shuk (market)


Dried fruit and nuts in the shuk


Spices spices spices

On a completely unrelated note, remember that semi-angsty post I wrote awhile back about technology? This gives me hope.

Hope everyone had a happy hump day!

Love,
Jess
