Vincent Poon :: Mt. Olives (1-sep)
 
Mount Olive is really famous for the place where Jesus was betrayed and arrested after the Last Supper, and also the place where he ascended into Heaven 40 days after resurrection.
 
Unless you are still young and fit and energetic, otherwise plan yourself properly if you want to tread the footsteps of Jesus in this mountain. Trust me.
 
Or unless you have a car........

Interior of the church. The word SILENCE is written in  Korean as well! I am surprised it wasn't written in Simplified Chinese too..
Roof of the church
The cloister is of European style

The courtyard
Descending into the grotto where it is believed that Jesus taught the prayer to his disciples
Inside the grotto, which was partially collapsed
A small praying corner is located on the north side of the cave. I should have saved my prayer here too..

After Church of Pater Noster, I went down  the road (AGAIN) to the Church of Dominus Flevit
and this time it was open!
After entering the gate I saw this strange building...
a closer look showed a few ossuaries inside!
