There are really so many religious sites to see in Jerusalem for many faiths. A couple of the most visited sites for Christians include the Notre Dame de Sion Ecce Homo Convent and the Graden Tomb. This is were the punishment was set and the resurrection happened.

One of the places to start is at the Notre Dame de Sion Ecce Homo Convent where Jesus was brought to Pilate by a mob of angry people. Stand on the steps were Pilate held Jesus in front of the angry mob as they sentenced him to death. This is also the location where the Romans tortured Jesus like it was a sport. Sadly, the Romans were known for their harsh treatment of prisoners in their clutch.

After the long walk through the city and his death on the cross, Jesus was put into a tomb. The Garden Tomb is were many believe Jesus was placed and where they believe he rose from his death and vanished. Today, people can visit the tomb and enjoy the tranquility of the garden. Visitors can do a self guided tour with an information pamphlet or they can get a guide to walk them through.

Search through a quality travel directory and pick out a really nice, centrally located hotel in Jerusalem because you’re going to be needing a nice place to rest between the many amazing sites of the city.
