As I was reflecting on Good Friday this morning, I decided to reminisce and go through some old photos and video clips from my trips to Israel. I want to share a clip of the Room of the Last Supper (the Cenacle) in Jerusalem. Of all the places I visited in Jerusalem, including the tomb of Jesus, I found this room particuarly.. well.. holy. I don't know the right word to explain the feeling.
From what I recall, Christian and Jewish leaders fought over the room, and as a result of this on-going fighting, the Muslim leaders were given custody of it. The room was actually converted into a mosque, and you can see the mihrab in the room that's facing Mecca.
Jerusalem is The Holy City for so many people, and if you ever visit, you'll see Christian, Jewish, and Muslim influence everywhere. This city.. so holy.. yet for me, carries some air of mystery.
Or maybe it's just dumbstruck awe on my part for being ignorant.
