The Garden Tomb and The Dome of the Rock




The Garden Tomb is the place believed to be burial spot of Christ by Protestants and Mormons. It is very peaceful there. The Dome of The Rock is the Muslim building that covers the rocky outcrop on Mount Moriah. It is believed by Muslims to be the place where the Prophet Mohammed went on his night ride to Paradise. I have been in the building in a previous visit. We were not allowed to go this time. Our Jewish guides did not want us to go, despite our protests. The Dome is visible in most of Jerusalem with its gold top.
