This morning we got up early and walked the way of the cross. The market looks very different early in the morning. It's much calmer. It was nice. People took turns reading at the stations. We also had a wooden cross that we carried. I didn't take any photos because it was very serious.
Today is Pentecost. There was a very big celebration at the cathedral. They had only one service at 11:00. People came in from other cities to be at the service. There were about 10 priests, a bishop and the archbishop celebrating the service.
Then in the afternoon, we went to the garden and pool of Bethesda. It was okay - not really worth the trip.
This evening, they gave us our certificates, a Saint George's tile, and some other things. Then dinner and then we went up on the roof to talk. I'm really tired. Tomorrow is our last day in Jerusalem. We leave early Tuesday for Tel Aviv. Then on Wednesday we fly home.
