The chapel was built between 1919 and 1924 using funds donated from many different countries. The respective coat-of-arms of each donating country are incorporated into the glass of the ceiling, each in a separate, small dome, and also into the interior mosaics. The countries honored in this way are; starting from the left side, beginning with the apse: Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Mexico; in the middle of the church are memorialized: Italy, France, Spain and the United Kingdom, and to the right: Belgium, Canada, Germany, and the United States of America. The mosaics in the apses were donated by Ireland, Hungary, and Poland. The crown around the bedrock itself was a gift of Australia. These multi-national donations give the church its present title as the Church of "All Nations".

A wide stone staircase ascends alongside a massive, textured limestone wall in the Old City. In the foreground, a weathered stone basin sits near the corner, while scaffolding covers part of the upper structure on the right.

Oskar Schindler is buried here.

Fifth Israeli Prime Minister, he was assassinated by a right-wing Israeli, Yigal Amir, who opposed his government’s signing of the Oslo Accords with the Palestinians. He was the first Israeli-born Prime Minister, and the second to die in office. He was born in Jerusalem, in what was then the British Mandate of Palestine, of Russian-Jewish parents.

The Western Wall sometimes referred to as the Wailing Wall or simply the Kotel (lit. Wall; Ashkenazic pronunciation: Kosel), and as al-Buraaq Wall by Muslims, is an important Jewish religious site located in the Old City of Jerusalem. Just over half the wall, including its 17 courses located below street level, dates from the end of the Second Temple period, being constructed around 19 BCE by Herod the Great.

A paved walkway runs beside the high stone fortifications of the Old City. Large pine trees cast shadows on the left, while the ancient wall rises on the right, with modern buildings and a crane visible in the distance.

6:00 in the morning - as the morning Fog broke through and the sun started to rise it created an Amazing Photograph....Take a look for yourself... in this photo you can see the construction of the new bridge by the entrance to the city - to the left and up is the central bus station -and to the right up a bit is Binyanei Hauma. Flames in Yerushalayim - I hope not. (This photo was not manipulated in photoshop in any way)This is a real shot.

The David Lauffer Flamingo Pond is home to three flocks of flamingoes. The Caribbean flamingoes from Cuba are the most brightly coloured of the three. They are very close relatives of the Greater flamingoes, and are generally regarded as a race of the same species. Greater flamingoes (Phoenicopterus ruber) can be found in the Middle East, and occasionally appear in Israel's few remaining wetlands in winter. They have a much broader geographical range than the physically smaller Lesser flamingoes (Phoeniconaias minor), but both species reside in Africa and parts of Asia.

The striking coloration of these birds is the product of a diet rich in red pigments. In the wild, flamingoes eat large amounts of very small crustaceans to give them their rich colour. In captivity, the pink color is often enhanced by the addition of red-pigmented ingredients such as beets and carrots, as well as sweet paprika and other natural items, to give a bold and beautiful plumage.

Adoramus te, Christe, et benedicimus tibi. Quia per sanctam crucem tuam redemisti mundum

Yet he was pierced through for our faults, crushed for our sins. On him lies a punishment that brings un peace, and through his wounds we are healed. (Is. 53, 5)

It is not the healthy who need the doctor, but the sick...I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners. (Matthew 9, 12-13)
