EARLY JERU- Holy Sepulchre

So for one of our free days we got up early to make the 6:30 am Mass at the Holy Sepulchre... make that plural. It was very interesting. We were able to attend a catholic one, ethiopian, and a few others. I didn't really know what to expect, but it was interesting to see the different types of worship, prayers, etc. I couldn't really handle the incense for too long, but that's okay. The Holy Sepulchre is crazy on Sunday, there are services going on everywhere!! Every corner you turn is a new religion!! Very neat!! We also went out to breakfast which was very yummy!! I really enjoyed being in the old city that early, before it became super lively. It was nice to see the market calm and not so overwhelming with the incense and people. I LOVE THIS PLACE!! NEVER GETS OLD!! =)
