Myanmar or is it Burma?

November 13, 2015by Raine Leave a comment

I still refer to the country at Burma, but apparently Myanmar incorporates all who live within the borders and not just the Burmese people. Having been to Burma during their […]

In the Holy Sepulchre you will find the Tomb of Joseph of Arimathea. There is a throne located outside the entrance of his tomb. Ancient tombs were said to be simple structures similar to Joseph’s - Slabs of stone where they lay the body on. We got to the church at 3:45 am, we pretty much had the entire church to ourselves. We were serenaded by chants of the orthodox priests. It was hauntingly beautiful as it echoed throughout the empty church as we explored every corner. . . . . . . . . • • • #RaineTravels #HolyLand #Jerusalem #HolySepulcher #TombOfJosephOfArimathea #Joseph #Palestine #Israel #MiddleEast #History #Faith #Jesus #Pilgrimage #Architecture #travel #travelgram #instatravel #wanderlust #travelingram #PassionPassport #natgeoyourshot #travelstoke #Voyadi #DKTravels

Abby of the Dormition located on the highest point in Jerusalem - Mount Zion.

Steps from the Demarcus Gate we found a place to grab dinner. Mezze, kofta and roast chicken. Everything shuts down inside the walls of the old city around 8pm, we ventured passed the walls in search for dinner. . . . • • • #RaineTravels #RaineEats #HolyLand #Jerusalem #DamascusGate #Palestine #Israel #MiddleEast #History #Faith #Jesus #Pilgrimage #Architecture #WalledCity #OldJerusalem #Mezze #Kofta #Hummus #travel #travelgram #instatravel #wanderlust #travelingram #PassionPassport #natgeoyourshot #travelstoke #Voyadi #DKTravels
An Ethiopian Monastery in Jerusalem also known as Deir es-Sultan, is actually on the roof of the Church of the Holy Sepulcher. It is the last stronghold of the Ethiopians in Jerusalem. The Ethiopian community has been residing in Jerusalem for dating back to the 4th century A.D. I met Marion a friendly nun on the grounds of the chapel. She was so nice and has been living there for 27 years. . . . . • • • #RaineTravels #HolyLand #Jerusalem #EthiopianChapel #Ethiopia #Palestine #Israel #MiddleEast #History #Faith #Jesus #Pilgrimage #Architecture #WalledCity #OldJerusalem #travel #travelgram #instatravel #wanderlust #travelingram #PassionPassport #natgeoyourshot #travelstoke #Voyadi #DKTravels

This slab of stone is believed to contain one of Jesus’s footprints.

The Western Wall - Women’s side. I walked up to the wall, left a prayer, then sat down to observe the activity around the wall 🇮🇱 . . . • • • #RaineTravels #HolyLand #WesternWall #WailingWall #Israel #Judism #MiddleEast #History #Faith #Pilgrimage #Architecture #WalledCity #OldJerusalem #travel #travelgram #instatravel #wanderlust #travelingram #PassionPassport #natgeoyourshot #travelstoke #Voyadi #DKTravels

Dome Of The Rock. Only open to non-Muslims at certain hours. From what I recall 7:00am-10:30& 12:30pm-1:30 (except Fridays)believe me when I say don’t try to visit during the afternoon. You will waste your time in the long line only to be turned away by the Israeli Guard with your hopes broken! Instead go at 7am! Get there a few minutes before 7 and there is no one in line! We got there at 6...and no one showed up til 7 and that was just a handful of tourists! . . . • • • #RaineTravels #HolyLand #Jerusalem #DomeofTheRock #Palestine #MiddleEast #History #Faith #Pilgrimage #Architecture #WalledCity #OldJerusalem #travel #travelgram #instatravel #wanderlust #travelingram #PassionPassport #natgeoyourshot #travelstoke #Voyadi #DKTravels
The crowds dwindle after hours at the Demascus Gates. We always try to stay within old walled cities. There is so much life within these walls. . . • • • #RaineTravels #HolyLand #Jerusalem #DamascusGate #Palestine #Israel #MiddleEast #History #Faith #Jesus #Pilgrimage #Architecture #WalledCity #OldJerusalem #travel #travelgram #instatravel #wanderlust #travelingram #PassionPassport #natgeoyourshot #travelstoke #Voyadi #DKTravels
Church of Mary Magdalene have seven gilded onion domes, each topped by a tall Russian Orthodox cross. Rarely open to visitors and believe me I tried to get in but nope had to come back another day. FYI: Visiting hours are Tuesday&Thursday from 10am til noon! • • • • #RaineTravels #HolyLand #Jerusalem #HolyPlaces #Palestine #Israel #MiddleEast #History #Faith #Jesus #Pilgrimage #MaryMagdalene #Architecture #GoldDomes #travel #travelgram #instatravel #wanderlust #travelingram #PassionPassport #natgeoyourshot #travelstoke #Voyadi #DKTravels
Oh Hey, it’s nice up here! The Ramparts Walk allows you to stroll above the walls of Old Jerusalem. Some rails are sturdy some are not so much. Not for the faint of heart and bad knees. It’s a great way to see Jerusalem. It’s too bad it stops short of the perimeter of Dome of the Rock! I’d love to see that area from top. • • • #RaineTravels #HolyLand #Jerusalem #RampartsWalk #Palestine #Israel #MiddleEast #History #Faith #Jesus #Pilgrimage #VillaDolorosa #Architecture #SepiaTones #travel #travelgram #instatravel #wanderlust #travelingram #PassionPassport #natgeoyourshot #travelstoke #Voyadi #DKTravels
Jerusalem always seems to have these sepia tones, maybe it’s the amber lights they use maybe it’s just the mood. We woke up at 3:30am walked over to see the key holder unlock the door. We arrive 3:40 am and it was already opened! They were early! We spent the next four hours exploring the church, no crowds. Just beautiful chanting by the priests inside. Oh the echoes they produce was beautiful. We ended up attending three masses. Italian, Latin and English. We also made friends with a Turkish Guard. He showed us significant historical spaces, which we would have missed if it weren’t for him. Everyday we were in Jerusalem we stopped by the church... he probably was like “You guys again!” . • • • #RaineTravels #HolyLand #Jerusalem #HolySepulchre #Palestine #Israel #MiddleEast #History #Faith #Jesus #Pilgrimage #VillaDolorosa #Architecture #SepiaTones #travel #travelgram #instatravel #wanderlust #travelingram #PassionPassport #natgeoyourshot #travelstoke #Voyadi #DKTravels
