Wailing Wall

After visiting the Church of the Holy Sepulchre we went to the Wailing Wall which is also called the Western Wall. It is the only remaining wall of the ancient Temple of the time of Jesus that was not destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD. It is probably the most sacred site recognized by the Jewish faith outside of the Temple Mount itself. The Jews consider the area like a synagogue and so we could only enter with our heads covered. Many leave pieces of paper with prayer intentions on them in the cracks of the wall. There I prayed for the parish and those intentions in the Intention Book.
