Jerusalem | The Birthplace of Christianity

⛪Jerusalem, a city sacred to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, holds a unique place in the heart of Christians. It is more than just a geographical location—it is a spiritual gene bank and a historical wound. From the crucifixion of Jesus to the birth of the Church, from the destruction of the Temple to the fervor of the Crusades, the relationship between Christianity and Jerusalem has always been marked by a tension between the sacred and the secular, redemption and violence. This contradiction is both the soil in which Christianity rose and its eternal spiritual struggle. ⛪The Church of the Holy Sepulchre, known as the “Church of the Resurrection,” is believed to be the site of Jesus’ tomb and is one of the holiest places in Christianity. Located in the Old City of East Jerusalem, it stands as a witness to Jesus’ passion, burial, and resurrection. 💥The Via Dolorosa, or “Way of Suffering,” is the path Jesus walked while carrying the cross to his crucifixion. It is a solemn route marked by Stations of the Cross, retracing his final steps. The Church of the Dormition is believed to be the place where the Virgin Mary fell into eternal sleep. 💥The Lutheran Church of the Redeemer is the only Protestant church in the Old City of Jerusalem and serves as the headquarters of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Jordan and the Holy Land. #CulturalHeritage #HistoricArchitecture #HeritageTourism #WorldHeritageCity
