Room of the Last Supper

Our fifth day in Israel began at Vad Hashem, The Holocaust Museum.  Next we drove to Old Jerusalem.  Jerusalem Zion GateWe climbed off the bus, walked here, and stopped.  I gazed at the old city walls with holes in it.  And then it hit me as our tour guide spoke.  This is Zion Gate in Old Jerusalem and those are holes from 1947 gun fire.  It was one of those shock and awe moments of my trip.  I couldn’t believe I was standing there! 

Old Jerusalem first glimpse of the cityI was amazed at the narrow passageways between the beautiful buildings and architecture.  This would not be our only trip to Old Jerusalem.  During this stop we only spent a short time there.  We headed to the Room of the Last Supper. 

Old Jerusalem Room of the Last supperThe Last Supper Room is a second-story room in Jerusalem that serves as a memorial to the upper room in which Jesus shared the Last Supper with His disciples. It was built in the 12 century and cannot possibly be the actual site; however it possible that it is over or near the actual site.  It is located above what is believed to be the Tomb of David and is near the Dormition Abbey on Mount Zion.
