Russian Church, Tomb of the Prophets, and Light Show

This morning we had class and then left early to head to the Russian Orthodox Church.  This church is only open on Tuesday and Thursday's from 10-12.  Usually we are in class at this time so it has been difficult to get in.  But, we finally made it.  It was absolutely beautiful.

With Lindsay in front of the church!  YAY!

We then hiked up the hill and went into the tomb of the prophets.  It was so awesome!  We lit candles to illuminate the way before us.  It was absolutely delightful exploring the cave!  (I can't wait to post my awesome picture from here!)

With Ben and Koryl.  I think the sign above us tells just how legit this place is.

I died!!!!!

Then we headed back to the center where I started studying for my quiz and then took the quiz.  I felt pretty good about it.

Finally we bundled up and headed to the Tower of David for a light show.  It was pretty amazing.  I got caught up in the amazing technology being used and how cool everything looked that I didn't realize for quite a while that they were showing the history of Jerusalem.  Oh well, it was still enjoyable.  After the show we wandered around West Jerusalem for a while, got delicious waffles, and came back to the center!  (One comment.  Who knew that Jerusalem was going to get so cold?  I thought I was always going to be hot here...but alas I freeze!  Oh well.)

It ended up being quite a lovely evening!
