在以色列之旅的结束篇中，我想说：我不是一个宗教信徒，对宗教也没有研究，之所以千里迢迢地来到这里，是出于对这片神秘国土的好奇。《圣经》中曾说：世界若有十分美丽，九分在耶路撒冷，这就是最大的诱因吧！ ----                                                                                                                                                              是的，当我走进这座古朴 凝重而又充满浓郁宗教色彩的城市，当我站在橄榄山上向远方眺望时，我被震撼了！ 作为犹太教  基督教  伊斯兰教的中心，神圣的古城孕育了人类文明。                                                              我为之感叹，感叹圣经中的许多故事，宗教中的传说都发生在耶路撒冷，无疑为圣城凭添了魅力；                   我感叹古城的建筑，沧桑的遗迹，凝结了人类的智慧和伟大的创造力。                                                               我为15万个安葬在墓地的灵魂而震撼，他们相信安葬在这里的人，当耶稣到来时，会最先复活；                      我为哭墙前犹太民族那段延续至今的情感而震撼；                                                                                           我为一代又一代顶礼膜拜的人们的虔诚而震撼，也许他们一生中都不会问一个为什么？！                              ----                                                                                                                                                               是的，我承认这是一座”离上帝最近“的城市，世界上独一无二的城市。                                                        然而也正是这座”离上帝最近”的城市，有着4000年历史的城池上刻满了征战和兴亡的印记，邦国的兴衰，民族的征战，宗教的纷争在这里纠结，至今还未平息。我们曾走进巴勒斯坦隔离区，那长长厚厚的隔离墙，那些全副武装的士兵，都是无言的诉说。                                                                                                                    ----                                                                                                                                                                 耶路撒冷是朝圣者的天堂，是属于那些与宗教有缘的人。                                                                                而我们不过是匆匆的过客，耶路撒冷也只是我们旅途中的一个驿站，对于过客，来过，看过，足以！                  耶路撒冷，心灵无法到达的地方。

                                                                                                                                                                       圣墓教堂    是耶稣基督遇难安葬和复活的地方。                                                                                            耶稣在被害前，背着沉重的十字架，沿着苦路一步步走向这里。                                                                       圣墓教堂又称为“复活大堂”，是基督教的圣地。         
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       圣墓教堂的建筑朴素又不失庄严

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          苦路第十至十四站的故事就发生在这里                     

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         世界各地来参观的人络绎不绝

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            哭墙    又称“西墙”，是古代犹太国第二圣殿的护墙遗址，长约50米，高约18米。是犹太教的第一圣地。          犹太民族是世界上最苦难的民族，犹太人视哭墙为自己的精神家园，他们相信哭墙的上方就是上帝。

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               他们以手抚摸墙面，犹如抚摸犹太民族千年的伤口

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      祈祷时男女有别
