To Christian shrines
The holy places of Israel attract millions of pilgrims from all over Christendom and the Jewish world. However, even people far from religion do not miss the opportunity to visit places from biblical legends when visiting the Holy Land. Here legends become reality, and powerful energy can impress even the deepest skeptics. The Church of the Holy Sepulcher is one of the greatest shrines of Christianity, built on the place where, according to the Holy Scriptures, Jesus Christ was crucified, buried and resurrected. This place has never been quiet. The Crusaders fought for the temple, it always passed into the hands of Christian and Muslim rulers, its walls were repeatedly destroyed and the lands burned. In 1810, the Church of the Holy Sepulcher (or, as it is also called, the Church of the Resurrection of Christ) was rebuilt.
The modern complex includes a monumental rotunda with a huge dome, the Altar of the Crucifixion at the top of Calvary, the chapel of Cuvukli, built over the burial place of Christ, the cathedral of the Jerusalem church Kafolikon, the underground church of the Life-Giving Cross, the church of the Holy Equal. In 1852, an agreement, known as the status quo, was reached on the division of the church's territory between six Christian denominations: Greek Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Syrian, Coptic, Ethiopian, and Armenian; each of them has their own days and times for services. Churches are still vying for primacy in the temple, and for many years the keys to the Christian shrine have been kept by two Arab families to avoid conflict.
The "peak" time for pilgrimage to the temple falls on Easter, when the annual miracle takes place within its walls - the ascent of the Blessed Fire, during which the space of the Rotunda is illuminated by unearthly light, and the sacred fire is lit by extinguished candles and lamps.
Dead Sea is a unique resort located in Israel. Dead Sea water is rich in salts, various minerals and trace elements, these components are several times higher than normal, so water treatments are recommended only in specially designated areas, otherwise you can harm your health. If you do everything according to recipes, your health can be improved. Water and mud treatments are considered to cure many diseases. People from all over the world come to get rid of the disease or prevent it.
But not only water, but also the natural conditions of the place where the Dead Sea is located, are incredibly unique and have a beneficial effect on the human body. The area adjacent to the Dead Sea is considered a nature reserve, beautiful landscapes and nature complement the beneficial effects of healing water. Here are the Sodom Mountains, consisting of pure salt.
