After going to Lazarus's Tomb, we got back on the bus and drove 30 minutes back to Bethphage, to see the Church of Bethphage, that celebrates the place where Jesus began His triumphal entry. We look at 1st Century tombs, that were places where someone had dug holes in rocks to place the body. One of the tombs had a stone that could be rolled over the opening.
The church has medieval frescoes.
The drawings depict the meeting between Jesus and Martha; two disciples bringing Jesus an ass and a colt, Lazarus rising from the dead, and on the side facing the altar, a drawing of a crowd of people holding palms.
