- Mount Zion
- Caiaphas the High Priest's house
- Church of St Peter in Gallicantu (Crowing of the Cock), where peter denied Jesus 3 times.
Caiaphas's house was where Jesus was stored overnight in a dungeon/cave until he was brought to Pilot for judgement. (i think).
Forgot what the words mean..
where Jesus was lowered
where Jesus was bound
there, Psalm 88 was read to us (thank you auntie Lindy :)).. the prophetic psalm of the cry of Jesus.. (thank you David)
The pictures here tell many things. Like this one has Jesus on the left and Peter on the right. Jesus says before the cock crows, you will deny me 3 times. Peter, on the other side, says no Lord, never will i deny you.

Me with the door
another sculpture shows this scene too
"non, novi illum"
"No, I don't know Him"
and we need to remember not to blame Peter, because seriously, if it were me, i don't know what i'd do! of course i pray i wouldn't, but really, you never know. the last thing we want is to be proud (like Peter) and think we will nEVER. only Jesus can remain so faithful!
we went inside the caves too, to see what's it like inside the dungeon..

we went down where Jesus was "stored" the night before his crucifixion. Mom and Moshe looking down from above
the hole that they believe Jesus was lowered down from
apparently, there is a darker mark that cannot be washed off at all. many say it looks like the silhouette of Jesus kneeling and praying, ie, interceeding for us all. from the picture above, Jesus would be facing left, on his knees, with his hands together in front of him praying. can't quite see from here, but.. from those postcard photos (which i'm sure they photoshoped), it's quite "obvious"
