During your walk around Jerusalem, you can't help but look at the Wailing Wall, or, if it's properly called, "part of the ancient wall on the western slope of the Temple Mount." They managed not only to look at the Wailing Wall, but also to touch it, but they forgot about the notes...

A place with an unusually strong aura. Really inspired, and by representatives of the three Abrahamic religions. I was in Israel for the first time. Before that, I did not understand why the Wailing Wall. But when I touched her, I realized. Tears come on their own when you pray. It's an amazing place

Hello everyone I was in Jerusalem at the end of May this year. I really enjoyed the trip. Even the air there is saturated with sanctity. I was very impressed by the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Something incredible for a believer… I went to the Wailing Wall on my own. She was not included in the schedule of our pilgrimage to the holy places. But, for me, this is the History of mankind, it is impossible to be in Jerusalem and not see the Wailing wall. By the way, it's called the Western Wall, or the Western Wall. The signs will only lead the traveler to it. Despite the fact that it has primarily Jewish significance, its history is also connected with other religions, especially Christianity, since it is part of the Temple Mount. There was a temple there that Jesus Christ visited. You have to walk to the Western Wall through ancient Jerusalem, through narrow streets that rise uphill and are framed on the left and right by merchants with all kinds of goods. Interestingly, the cobblestones that line the road are polished with your feet so that you have to walk carefully so as not to slip. In some places, there is a conveniently arranged descent, in the form of deep steps. Comfortable. To get directly to the square where the wall is located, you need to go through a checkpoint. Go down the steps and go to your side: men and women pray separately. Of course, I didn't pray there, but they touched the wall with my hand. It gave me pleasure, as there was a sense of connection between the times. It's an exciting feeling. The wall itself is a grandiose structure. There are a lot of notes and appeals to God. There were a lot of tourists from all over the world, it was hot, so I just touched the wall and went back to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which is located nearby. The feelings that embrace the visitor of the Temple cannot be described in words. I am delighted and happy that you are here. Probably so!
