Israel Tour Day Six

On Day six on our tour of Israel we visited the Jerusalem museum and saw a model of what Jerusalem looked like in the time of Jesus. We also visited the Museum of the Dead Sea Scrolls which explained how they were found and how they are kept safe today. We then visited the Holocaust museum but we weren't allowed to take any pictures inside. It was an emotional visit for everyone to see the horrors perpetuated on humanity by the Nazis. We also went to Bethlehem to the Church of the Nativity. It was very crowded and people were bending down to kiss the supposed spot where Christ was born. All in all is was a full and exciting day.
