Here is the monastery of St. Melania, the Elder. She lived in the 4th century and came from one of the wealthiest Roman clans. Tragically losing children and a husband, she imbued with the Christian faith and ended up in Egypt and Jerusalem. She lived modestly. In a small cave, she prayed, holding heavy chains in her hands. It is claimed that an underground passage connected its cave with the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. Now in the monastery, there is a room - Melanie Cave and its prayer chains.
The trip takes us from the Jaffa Gate through the Christian Quarter to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. After that, we will visit Golgotha, the stone of anointing, burial, and resurrection, St. Helena Chapel - the site where the Holy cross was found. Further, the route passes through Muristan to the Jewish Quarter, Kardo Street, excavations of the walls of Jerusalem from the time of Jesus, the mosaic of Madaba, the Hurva Synagogue, the Menorah, the panorama of the Olive and Temple Mountains, the Wailing Wall. Finally, we return to the Jaffa Gate through the Muslim Quarter, the monuments of the Mamluk architecture, and the street of David.
