Crossing Jerusalem By Nicholas Woodsworth

I've just bought this excellent book today from Waterstone's in Leeds. It's clearly going to be very helpful in giving me more understanding about Jerusalem. I've started to read it and it begins with the 3 accounts of the Day Of Judgment, Jewish, Christian and Islamic. What a gripping way to begin the book at to hook the reader into delving further in.

I would love to go back there with modern video / digital camera gear to bring home crisper, clearer images and video. Nowhere else in the world quite manages to throw up sharp contrasts and divisions between the three intimately-linked faiths. It's amazing to think how much of the present world's troubles have some kind of religious underpinning relating to the Semitic faiths, the children of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

The City Of David

Mount Of Olives & The Damascus Gate

Dome Of The Rock - Second Visit

Landing At Jerusalem Airstrip

During our hour long trip flying over Israel we had experienced some thermals over the Judean Desert. I was so relieved to get back down.

Paul@ Dome Of The Rock

This was our second visit to the Temple Mount and I wanted to do a little commentary in front of The Dome Of The Rock.

Sepulchre 2

Since Easter is almost upon us once again I thought I would add an appropriate hymn to this footage of the Holy Sepulchre. I really wanted, The Is A Green Hill Far Away but could only find, When I Survey The Wondrous Cross.
