[Mount Zion & King David’s Tomb] The Site of the Last Supper…

#EverySecondWorthRemembering King David’s Tomb on Mount Zion is the second holiest site in Judaism after the Western Wall. Though it’s a cenotaph (symbolic tomb), the place is filled with Jewish symbols—the Star of David, seven-branched menorahs, and nine-branched Hanukkah lamps. Right next to the tomb is the Upper Room (Cenacle), traditionally believed to be where Jesus held the Last Supper before his betrayal. This room belonged to St. Mark’s wealthy family, who hosted gatherings for Jesus and his disciples. The golden olive tree marks the spot where the Last Supper took place. Due to centuries of Islamic rule, the architecture blends Islamic influences—like the intricately designed windows facing the olive tree. Beyond its significance to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam… even the Holy Meow Meow Church (🐱) claims a stake here! shows the resident feline guardian of King David’s Tomb courtyard. This is Mount Zion—where history, faith, and even cats collide.😉 #Travel #CulturalHeritage #KingDavid #LastSupper #OliveTree #Jesus #MountZion #Judaism #StarOfDavid #Israel #Jerusalem #HolyLand
