Praying in Jerusalem

Eric and Hannah's stay in the Middle East has taken them to Jerusalem. They were able to spend some time at the Temple Mount. Eric donned a prayer cap in order to pray at the Western Wall of the destroyed temple, commonly known as the "Wailing Wall". There he and Hannah met a Jewish Rabbi. They were also able to view the Garden Tomb which many believe is the actual site where Jesus was laid after his death. They reported that they were overwhelmed with emotion as they entered the garden and witnessed first-hand the empty tomb.
