sat, 5 july, pt. 2

With two friends we walked along via dolorosa in thew old city. It was suprisingly quiet. One friend wanted to visit church of saint Anne, mother virgin Mary I think but I'm not sure. Me and other friend waited in a small plaza, we did not want to pay seven shekels for something that we was not interested.

Some church near church of saint Anne. It was also beautiful but not really our thing:
Bathroom of church of saint Anne was best I ever seen so far in Israel. It was clean and there was toiletpaper! And there we sat in small plaza, ejoying of peace, beauty and quiet. Suddenly we hear *BUM*! Ok, I was little bit nervous but no one was running or screaming. Again *BUM*! Still no running or screaming but I wanted to leave. *BUM* Our friend came back and we asked the guy who sold tickects what is going on, he said it is only arab wedding. So nothing to be nervous about, it was only me and my wild imagination...

We went to Lion's gate:
Entering arab cematary. It was closed but we asked permission to enter so we could see Golden gate:
Arab cemetary. It was middle of the day, but still it was spooky! I dont know for how long these bodies have lied in here, few years, hundreds or thousands of years? Who was these people, what kind of life they had?
And there it was! Golden gate!:
I do not know much about relion but I guess it is not so recommended for jewish people visit here. Still one of our friend was jewish. Other chistian friend was really eager to visit here and see golden gate with her own eyes. Messiah will come through this gate. Now it is sealed, no one can go through it. Arabs buried their warriors here, so if messiah comes, they will raise from the dead and fight back. I dont know if this is true, but very interesting story! Hmmm...
