Jerusalem is, of course, extremely sacred to Christians since it was here that it is said he was condemned to death, crucified and then rose from the dead three days later. The city of Jerusalem is woven inextricably into the story of the last days of Jesus.
One of the most important things to experience whilst in Jerusalem is to follow the route of the Via Dolorosa from start to finish at the Church Of The Holy Sepulchre.
There had been Roman temples on the site of the church and, as with many of the Christian holy sites, it is hard to know whether this was the real, actual location of the crucifixion or not. Having said that, the sheer weight of history, pilgrimage and spirituality connected with the church makes it extremely special indeed.
