Dome-seplicur-tastic

Today I went to so many important places, like the Dome of the Rock, Temple Mount, Pools of Bethesda, and Church of the Holy Seplicur.
I still haven't bought anything other than food and drinks, which makes me sad because everything is so beautiful and the shop owners make you so sad when they say you have pretty eyes or are starving their children.
Dome of the Rock is the most amazing place I have ever seen, I am so in awe of the devotion of Muslims to this Holy place and how intricate they have built this magnificent place to be. I love all the mosaic work and the reverence surrounding the Dome.
The Temple Mount was right next to the Dome of the Rock and there were multiple bar and bat mitzvahs going on, which was neat to watch. We learned about the processes of pushing thousand ton rock onto more rocks and building the walls. I felt really irreverent walking all over the steps that led into the Temple, but it is a pretty normal tourist attraction i guess. 
The Pools of Bethesda were pretty neat, we learned the the main pool was not where the lame man was healed, but actually in a special pool designed for healing, which the Romans eventually built a church over.
The Church of the Holy Seplicur was THE MOST AMAZING PLACE I HAVE EVER BEEN. I am so lucky to walk through a place where Jesus was crucified, buried, and rose again. There are also so many pilgrams who journey through this church for the last thousand years and it is amazing to see the "graffiti" they have inscribed in this place. There is a rock in the church that is said to be the rock that Jesus' body was prepared on, and we saw Christians come and kiss, rub relics, and cry over. The most touching thing I felt was when a little tiny old grandma came and pulled out little pink baby clothes and spread them all over the rock. It was so beautiful.
Anyways, I am beat from more walking than ever before. Goodnight everyone! Shalom!
