I have thoroughly enjoyed reading about your trip. I will be a little sad when you've completed the journey. :( It almost makes me feel like I've had an education! :) Love how you can do so many 2 pagers and give them all such different looks and feels. I struggle with 2pgrs and avoid them often! You make it look so easy! TFS
Just beautiful and I love your journaling on this one. So informative. I was surprised to see so many graves when we were there looking down from the Mount of Olives. I did not know the significance according to Jewish tradition and you explained it! I knew the gate was blocked but didn't know why. Now it all makes sense! Thank you for clarifying for me. There was so much information to take in and such a short amount of time to see it all! I was just there 2 or 3 months ago but your layouts have made me feel like I've just been back again. I noticed you described it as life-changing and this is how I would describe my experiences there too. Thank you so much for sharing your Israel trip!
interesting history and somewhat sad that the battle still goes on between the Jews and the Muslims although at least this is a peaceful battle at this site it seems.
Pictures from my trip to Israel in 2011. Journaling reads "After viewing many different sites, we walked along the eastern side of the Temple Mount through the burial grounds that cover the Mount of Olives and the hillside leading up to the Temple Mount. In Jewish tradition, the Messiah will descend the Mount of Olives on Judgment Day and enter through Jerusalem through the beautiful gate. This is why so many Jews want to be buried here. The Muslims have blocked this gate and placed tombs in front of the gate, hoping to deter the return of the Messiah. It was a fascinating place to explore and take pictures."
I created the rosettes using a cut file on my computer. They are bulky but I love how they look on here. :)
