The Shrine of the Holy Sepulcher

7/12

Saturday afternoon, Paul, Blanca and myself took a stroll through the Old City to visit the Holy Sepulcher.  Upon arriving at the small plaza at the entrance to the Sepulcher, the Mosque of Omar, across the plaza, was having the afternoon call to prayer.  A few moments later we were inside the most Holy site to Christianity, listening to monks chanting while breathing the sweet aroma of the incense.  At every corner within the Old City of Jerusalem one encounters the mixing of these diverse religions; the Holy sites, the people, the customs, the bells, chanting, singing and praying.
