Betania

"On the sidelines, on the eastern side of the Mount of Olives, the return is not towards Jerusalem, but toward the Judean Desert, lies Betania "- says the author of my guide to the Holy Land. It was there we went yesterday with Miriam.

But first, I was on a Sunday Mass. - Armenian Rite. All sung, the sound of bells and shrouded in incense smoke. amazing experience!

But I'm going back to Bethany ...

We went where on a camel. We rented it from the Bedouin on the outskirts of Jerusalem. Here is the cheapest means of transport, and Miriam, who lives in the Holy Land since 2 years is quite skilled in dressage these animals. Our "bust" zaparkowałyśmy the fence of the church in Bethany:

course I'm joking! We went by bus (No. 36), whose driver did not quite know where we should blow up, at the end of the same wskazałyśmy him a place where we want to get off, when we saw the gate with the inscription: "Church". And this is already there pociesznego Kamel zastałyśmy.

Through the gate went into the garden at the church, where it grows a lot of original plants:

bush thorny

papyrus

or mandarin orange tree

tree with flowers and chicks mięciutkimi

shrub (or tree) with flowers in your favorite color Gaffci

bush with those funny flowers

and various cacti (it foty specifically for you, Poly):

aloesy the olive tree

cactus opuncjowy

cactus opuncjowy niekwitnący

agave

and of course the palm:

From the garden, the church has shown us the way:

The church are the remains of the church from the fifth century:

and mosaics with him

Natrafiłyśmy also on a charming alley:

After hovering in a funny cat who came down for a moment from its pedestal:

to pozalecać to Miriam

The church dates from the mid-twentieth century:

appear on the façade of a friend of Jesus - Mary, Martha and Lazarus:

Presbytery looks like this:

And the walls are beautiful modern mosaics (I liked them on the occasion of my first stay in the Holy Land.) Proceed with successively

resurrection of Jesus (the altar)

visit Jesus of Mary and Martha (left)

resurrection of Lazarus (Right side)

feast at Bethany (on the back, above the entrance)

is located near the Tomb of Lazarus:

belongs to Muslims. To enter, you must pay at the door. Descend to the grave just off the street:

the stairs built by the Franciscans in 1613 (previously you could only enter through a nearby mosque.) First is these steps:

then burial chamber, which - as I read the guide - "should creep":

So crawled, and inside was this:

Then he anticipated my resurrection - I left the tomb. Miriam immortalized this special moment.

Bethany is such a nice place - good place wake association. About friendship and friendship with Jesus at all ...

I still view - in depth - the high wall in the Palestinian Authority:

przekroczyłyśmy the boundaries. It's a different world. Dirty, rather poorly, and open shops and pubs lack of customers (dealers convince us to use their services, because ... no one comes to them ...). On the way back a young soldier with a big gun ... check our passports

And after coming back from Bethany to Jerusalem ... we went for ice cream and coffee. Finally, not every day comes from the grave. We had to celebrate!

I still photos of Miriam of Bethany - some of which show me
