It is believed that underneath this ruin is the foundation of the original temple
where Jesus preached. Shot In Holy Land in 2005 with Fuji S2

Thank you!  I'm enjoying the tour of the Holy Land you're taking us though.

I walked today where Jesus walked,
In days of long ago.
I wandered down each path He knew,
With reverent step and slow.

Those little lanes, they have not changed,
A sweet peace fills the air.
I walked today where Jesus walked,
And felt Him close to me.

My pathway led through Bethlehem,
A memory's ever sweet.
The little hills of Galilee,
That knew His childish feet.

The Mount of Olives, hallowed scenes,
That Jesus knew before
I saw the mighty Jordan row,
As in the days of yore.

I knelt today where Jesus knelt,
Where all alone he prayed.
The Garden of Gethsemane,
My heart felt unafraid.

I picked my heavy burden up,
And with Him at my side,
I climbed the Hill of Calvary,
I climbed the Hill of Calvary,
I climbed the Hill of Calvary,
Where on the Cross He died!

I walked today where Jesus walked,
And felt Him close to me.

Is that a poem or a song? What is the title?
It is fitting to the my project: 2005 Holy Land Photo journal.

It is a song sung by George Beverly Shay.  I have longed to go to the holy land since I was a wee girl.

Thank you, Judy.

The Holy Land is the ultimate travel destination for any believer. The spiritual journey will strengthen your faith and would bring you closer to God as you walk on the ground where Jesus and His disciples walked. I literally took off my sandals when I was in Jerusalem. I wanted my feet to touch the ground rather than with the sole of my shoes. When I was in Nazareth, I felt as if I was returning home from many years of being away. I am glad and forever grateful to God for bringing me there.

That is just so beautiful, Judy! Thanks for sharing that... :)

Now I am going to see if I can find an online source for that Jude!!! I don't recall hearing this!!!  

It's called 'I Walked today Where Jesus Walked' but I found it sung by someone else and had to make a choice between several.  :)

One shouldn't be envious about something like this.   But I'm envious.   I need to go there.   Wonderful picture, better story.  Thanks.

It would be really nice if all of you get together and plan a trip there. A friend of mine just came back from a pilgrimage to The Holy Land and very thrilled to talk about his experience.
