After lunch and a brief break, Pat, Fr. Fred and I went to the old city! It was soooo cool to just explore on our own. We went to The Holy Sepulchre. Church of the Redeemer Lutheran. The acoustics in there made Father Fred jealous!
Then we went to John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church. There was amazing art in there. We spent a lot of time exploring the amazing iconography.
Then we were able to catch the end of Vespers at the Armenian Church Saint James. The service was very pretty even though I had no idea what they were saying. On the outside they had an Icon of Jesus and God The Father crowning Mary the queen of heaven! Father Fred and I agreed Redeemer needs one of those!
We headed back to Saint George's after that. Tonight we hear about the peace process from an Israeli perspective.
