Holy Land Trip, Day 6

Chapel of the Ascension
This is the high point on the Mount of Olives, where Jesus ascended into Heaven. A church was built there in 390. 600 years later it became a mosque when Muslims were in control of the area. Muslims recognize Jesus and his ascension, so it remained a holy sight.
