今回を含めて、おそらく3回の構成で、キリストの最期に関わる3つの場所を取り上げようと思う。最初はオリーブ山。
オリーブ山からのエルサレムの眺めは素晴らしい。キリストが十字架を背負ったあるいたとされる「悲しみの道」、宗教の狭間で多くの血が流されたエルサレム の旧市街が眼下に見下ろされる。エルサレム見学の最初は、オリーブ山から町を見下ろすに限る。
オリーブ山はキリストが何度も何度も帰ってくる場所だった。そして、処刑の前日さえもここオリーブ山のゲッセマネにキリストは居た。そして密告。キリス トが捕らえられたのもゲッセマネの一角だ。ゲッセマネとはオリーブの搾り場だったという。ここには今でもオリーブの老木がある。
I am planning to do a three installment series on the foot prints of Jesus Christ in Jerusalem. The first one today is Mount Olive.
The view of Jerusalem from Mt. Olive is beautiful. You could see the old city where much blood is shed between different ethnic and religious groups. The first thing you could do in Jerusalem is to go up Mt. Olive and have a deep breath at the panoramic view of the city.
Mt. Olive is the place where Jesus came back once in a while. Even in the last leg of his life, he came back here, and spend the last night before his death here in this place. He was caught here and dragged off for impeachment, and then the execution. In the garden of Gessamane, there are a few very old olive trees today. This place was where the olive was pressed for oil.
