Faith by faith, and money money - part 2

Israel - from the sublime to the Earth's (continued, part 2) Today, Tel Aviv - Israel is the center of industry, trade, finance and culture, as well as one of the best resorts. Tel Aviv is translated as "hill of spring", and still call it a "city without interruption" because the pace of life here is very high, both day and night. Tel Aviv was founded as a suburb of the port city of Jaffa, in 1909, runs through the city pedestrian seaside boulevard that connects the modern neighborhoods of Tel Aviv and ancient Jaffa. In the Tel Aviv's many museums. The most interesting of these - the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and the Archaeological Museum of Eretz Yisrael. Also a city known for its picturesque eastern markets. Caramel Market is one of the largest open-air bazaars in the Middle East. In general, the impressions of our first day would be enough and for a week. Satellite city of Tel Aviv - Jaffa next morning from Tel Aviv, we went to the satellite city of Jaffa - one of the oldest ports in the world. Through the port of Jaffa was once a famous trading sea route. It is here that we were told the Greek myth of the beautiful Andromeda. She was chained to a rock and left to the mercy of terrible sea monster, but the brave Perseus defeated the monster, freed the beauty and married her. We were shown the stones that were left from the "Rock of Andromeda." The very same town, a small and cozy, has a special significance for the Christian religion. Here is preserved the house of Simon - a tanner, which has long lived the apostle Peter, and where he had a vision of "four-legged earth, animals, reptiles and birds." It was then that Christianity has become a separate religion. It is believed that this Noah built his ark. Entrance to the Holy Sepulcher The next day, we, of course, went to Jerusalem - the cradle of three religions: Judaism, Christianity and Islam. We first visited the Holy Sepulcher (Jerusalem Church of the Resurrection), which stands at the spot where, according to church tradition, was crucified, buried and then resurrected Jesus Christ. The main attraction - a plate Sepulchre, where Jesus Christ lay immediately after it was removed from the cross. They say that even now in this slab can be seen a drop of his blood. This is exactly where the very kaplichka, where the eve of Easter each year is made the ascent of the Holy Fire ceremony. An interesting fact that this belongs to the Greek patriarch kaplichka, because once the Greeks paid a huge sum of money right. Also in this kaplichke has access Armenian Patriarch. As stated belief by faith and money - it's always the money. Rock, which cracked when it spilled a drop of blood of Jesus Christ beginning the material: Read more: See also: coin with a face of Jesus is released ... BC
