Ibrahimi Mosque
The Cave of the Patriarchs or Tomb of the Patriarchs, known as the Ibrahimi Mosque, literally meaning, the Mosque of Abraham, is a series of caves situated 30 km south of Jerusalem.
It is one of the oldest and most influential holy sites in the world. It is believed to be the burial site of Abraham, Sarah, Isaac, Jacob, Rebecca, and Leah. Its influence reaches all three of the major religions, being sacred to Christians, Jews, and Muslims alike. However, its religious influence isn’t its only asset; the intimidating large mosque with its impressive interior has an overwhelming intensity that is truly unforgettable.
Church of the Holy Sepulchre
The Church of the Holy Sepulchre is a church in the Christian Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem.
This is the site of the crucifixion, and the burial site of Jesus of Nazareth, making it one of the holiest sites in the world for Christianity. Despite its religious significance, the beauty and history of this church leave you in awe. The interior is colorful, ornate, and compelling and the atmosphere of the church alone is well worth experiencing. Many people come to the church to weep and caress the stone of Golgotha, where the cross is believed to have been placed. With high-domed ceilings and an ancient structure, the building is a sight that shouldn’t be missed by anyone with a keen eye for architecture.
