| Chapel of the Ascension |
We returned to the Mount of Olives this morning but this time we went to the peak. Far above the garden of Gethsemane lies the crusader Church of the Ascension. Today it's a mosque but originally it was a small church dedicated to Jesus' Ascension and it was built without a roof. I caught a lot of seminarians starring up into the sky. (For the record so did I but we should have read Acts 1:11.)

We had mass down the hill in a cave where the apostles may have slept while Jesus prayed. We also visited the cave of the Our Father. I think today we hit our cave limit. In fact the guys are currently having a "what is it about caves?!" conversation at the table next to me.

We ended the day traveling to Emmaus/Nicopolis, one of two possible locations for Jesus' appearance at Emmaus. We had a holy hour scheduled but the Church was locked so we spread out and prayed outside. Several guys prayed in a ruined crusader Church on the site.
