The

in Jordan as well as the opportunity to take part in some other exciting
and unusual excursions. We would recommend this programme for all types
of Student groups and particularly those with an interest in Religious
Studies. We can arrange excellent accommodation at a price to suit your
budget. 
Your
group will enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of Jerusalem from the
Mount of Olives, before taking the Palm Sunday Road to the Church of
Dominus Flevit (where Jesus wept about Jerusalem - Luke 9). 
The
Garden of Gethsemane is at the foot of the Mount of Olives, within the
walled grounds of the Church of all Nations (also known as the Church
of the Agony). It’s a peaceful garden among a grove of ancient
olive trees, looking back at the eastern wall of the City of Jerusalem.
According
to tradition, the Last Supper took place in what is called today The
Room of the Last Supper on Mount Zion, just outside of the walls of
the Old City of Jerusalem, and is traditionally known as The Upper Room.
This is based on the account in the Synoptic Gospels that states that
Jesus had instructed a pair of unnamed disciples to go to the city to
meet a man carrying a jar of water, who would lead them to a house,
where they were to ask for the room where the teacher has a guest room.
This room is specified as being 
the
upper room, and they prepare the passover there. 
The
Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem is one of the oldest continuously
operating churches in the world. The structure is built over the cave
that tradition marks as the birthplace of Christ, and it is considered
sacred by followers of both Christianity and Islam
by
a 14-pointed silver star set into the marble floor and surrounded by
silver lamps. This altar is denominationally neutral, although it features
primarily Armenian Apostolic influences. Another altar in the Grotto,
which is maintained by the Roman Catholics, marks the site where traditionally
Mary laid the newborn Baby in the manger. 
The
Western Wall in the midst of the Old City in Jerusalem is the section
of the Western supporting wall of the Temple Mount which has remained
intact since the destruction of the Second Jerusalem Temple (70 C.E.).
It became the most sacred spot in Jewish religious and national consciousness
and
tradition by virtue of its proximity to the Western Wall of the Holy
of Holies in the Temple, from which, according to numerous sources,
the Divine Presence never departed. It became a center of mourning over
the destruction of the Temple and Israel's exile, on the one hand, and
of religious - in 20th century also national - communion with the memory
of Israel's former glory and the hope for its restoration, on the other.
The
Church of the Holy Sepulchre, known as the Church of the Resurrection
(Anastasis) to Eastern Orthodox Christians, is a Christian church in
the Old City of Jerusalem. It stands on a site that encompasses both
Golgotha, or Calvary, where Jesus was crucified, and the tomb (sepulchre)
where he was buried.
the
city was taken by the Romans in 66 AD. Less than a century later, in
135 AD, Emperor Hadrian filled in the quarry to provide a level foundation
for a temple to Aphrodite. The site remained buried beneath the pagan
temple until Emperor Constantine the Great converted to Christianity
in 312 AD. He soon showed an interest in the holy places associated
with his new faith, and commissioned numerous churches to be built throughout
the Holy Land. The most important of these, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre,
was begun in 326 AD.
