Israel Museum
This is the Israel Museum, one of the most fascinating places to visit in Jerusalem. It has the most extensive display of artefacts from Bible times. When you visit the Museum, the first thing you see is the interesting roof of the Shrine of the Book. It is shaped like the lid of an ancient jar that would have been used to store scrolls. Under its roof is the exhibition area that traces the story of the Dead Sea Scrolls.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Addictions – with Delia McCabe
An addiction is an inability to stop an activity or behaviour, even if it is causing physical or psychological harm. A simple addiction, like needing a coffee first thing in the morning, is generally regarded as normal – even though it’s a sign that the body lacks energy. But if you can’t live without it, it’s still an addiction. More damaging and serious addictions, like alcohol, drugs, gambling, or pornography, cause terrible damage to the user, their family, and their community.

The Most Important Death in History
Throughout history, there has been one thing that is common to everyone who has ever lived: death. Some deaths have been more spectacular than others, some more notable and mysterious. Some changed the course of history and made a difference in the world, while most passed relatively unnoticed.
Church of the Holy Sepulchre
This is the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. It is the most sacred Christian site in the world. Today it is located within the walls of the old city of Jerusalem in what is known as the Christian quarter. But during the time of Jesus, this site was outside the town’s walls and very likely a quarry, so it is a possible site for the crucifixion. Emperor Constantine embraced Christianity in 312 AD, and soon after, his mother, Helena, made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, where tradition claims she found many Christian sites, including the place of the crucifixion and burial of Jesus. The Church of the Holy Sepulchre was built on the site she located. The name sepulchre means a chamber that is used as a grave. In the Bible book of John 19:41-42, it says that the tomb was close to the place of the Crucifixion, and so the church was planned to enclose the site of both the cross and the tomb.
