A year ago I bought my tickets for one of the trips I enjoyed the most: Israel. Had a few nostalgic thoughts about it tonight … Let me share some pictures below. The rest can be found in a best of on Flickr.
I am baptized, but not religious. The last time I’ve been to a church was for a wedding. The time before, well, … I’m sure there must have been a time before. And my views on religion are not completely positive, to say the least. Israel was an amazing trip that I would advise to anyone, for hundreds of reasons. The first one was to live the 1 square mile old Jerusalem where the roots of the three monotheist religions entwine.
The Kotel, or Western Wall, Jerusalem. One of my preferred shots.
A strong mint tea in Bethlehem, West Bank, Israel. 10mn from Jerusalem, and a real Arabic souk.
The Milk Grotto, Bethlehem, West Bank, Israel.
Christian holy water with Arabic inscriptions.
The Church of the Nativity, Bethlehem, West Bank, Israel.
Jesus is born in this grotto, 2008 years ago …
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Jerusalem.
The Church is built on the Golgotha, where Jesus was crucified.
The ghost of Arafat, still there …
Olive Mount, Jerusalem. In the back, the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock.
Peace, whatever the language … Along the dead sea.
