And the Cock Crowed

On the site of the place where Ciaphas condemned Christ to die, this church offers us some interesting perspectives on Christ's last days.

From here you can see the Garden of Gethsemane and the walls of old Jerusalem.

After praying in the Garden, Jesus entered the city of Jerusalem to shouts of praise and admiration. Shortly there after He was sentenced to death. On His last night He was lowered into an old cistern as depicted in this mosaic. We were privileged to enter a cistern, using stairs, to better understand Christ's surroundings on that last night.

It was also at this site that St. Peter denied Christ three times. The image of a rooster adorns the roof of the site.
