In addition, if you come here you will have the opportunity to see hundreds, thousands of Jews, sitting quietly and praying by the Wailing Wall all day.



It is believed that, if you pray continuously for 40 days, you will be blessed with many miracles.
Many people when it comes to Wailing Wall know that it is the holiest place in Jerusalem. But not many people clearly understand why it has become the holiest place.
First of all, because it is the witness to a long volatile history of the Jewish people.
According to the Bible, the temple of King Salomon was built on top of Temple Mount, destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 B.C. During the Herodic era, the head of the ancient Jewish state, the temple was rebuilt more magnificent In 70, during the Jewish-Roman war, the temple was destroyed by the Romans, leaving only the western wall as today.




In 135, the Roman emperor, after quelling the Jewish uprising, issued an exile order, forbidding them from going to Jerusalem to worship. The reason for this action was that the Jews refused to worship the Roman emperor. Things only got easier in the time of Emperor Constantine. Jews are entitled to return to ancient times.
That is also the reason before Israel was restored to the country, at the beginning of the new year the Jews used to wish each other: Next year, in Jerusalem, to express a constant desire to return. home.
Near the Wailing Wall is the Holy Seplucher Shrine. Jews believe that this is the burial place of Jesus, where the person fell after carrying the cross 14 tracks.

For over a thousand years Jerusalem was ruled under Islamic laws, Arabs often used the wall as a dumping site. They did so in order to humiliate the Jews who came to pray at the Wall. This also partly expresses the grief of the Jews, and their mourning for the millennia of death, and for the calamities and misfortunes of the nation that is thus more painful. Besides, they also constantly prayed with the belief that someday a savior would bring the Jews back to their homeland Jerusalem.
In 1948, when the state of Israel was born, Jews and Arabs waged a fierce war again. Although the victory belonged to the Jews, they were unable to obtain the Citadel, especially the extremely precious relic to them, the Wailing Wall. During the six-day war that took place in 1967, Israel won and recaptured all of Jerusalem.



The country's military flattened the surrounding areas and created a large square that could accommodate nearly half a million people.
In addition to the Mourning Wall, Holy Sepluche Church of the Holy Sepulcher, visitors to ancient Jerusalem often visit historic landmarks such as the crossing of the lord's road, the top of the Olive mountain, the archaeological site of King David ... There are conflicts with neighboring countries in the border area, but each year the country still welcomes about 3 million tourists to visit the religious relics of mankind existed over the centuries.
