EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a breathtaking view of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem, Israel, circa 1910s. The Mount of Olives, a significant site in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions, is a prominent hill located to the east of Jerusalem's Old City. The hillside is covered with ancient olive trees, giving the mount its name. In this image, the hill is bathed in the soft, golden light of the setting sun, casting long shadows across the terrain. The Old City of Jerusalem can be seen in the distance, with its iconic golden Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque standing out against the skyline. The Dome of the Rock, a sacred site for Muslims, is believed to be where the Prophet Muhammad ascended to heaven, while the Al-Aqsa Mosque is the third-holiest site in Islam. For Jews, the Mount of Olives holds great historical and religious significance. It is believed that the Messiah will return to the mount and ascend to heaven from there. The mount is also where tradition holds that Jesus delivered the Olivet Discourse and where he ascended into heaven. The hill has been a burial place for Jews for over 3,000 years, and the landscape is dotted with tombs and gravesites. The Mount of Olives offers a unique perspective of Jerusalem's rich history and religious significance, making it a must-visit destination for pilgrims and tourists alike.
