The finale of tonight: The Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem This sacred church in the Old City of Jerusalem is believed to be built on the site of Jesus’ crucifixion, burial, and resurrection. This was built in 335 AD by Emperor Constantine. It was later destroyed in 1009 and rebuilt by Crusaders in the 11th century.

This where Jesus healed the blind, according to Christian scriptures. And anyone can visit in Jerusalem at the City if David and follow in the footsteps of the ancient pilgrims!

A wide berth upwind always provides the most spectacular light shows… Nature’s raw power and beauty is a constant reminder of the divinity of our Creator.

Caras Galadhon, the heart of Lothlórien and the home of Galadriel and Celeborn. This golden city was where the Fellowship stayed after entering Lothlórien. Built high among the enormous mallorn trees, the city was unlike almost anywhere else in Middle-earth. Its name roughly means “City of Trees” in Sindarin, and it was surrounded by a high green wall and a deep moat. Interestingly, an extended scene introducing the city was included in the Extended Edition of The Fellowship of the Ring. Haldir leads the Fellowship to a hilltop, where they get their first view of Caras Galadhon. He then says, “Caras Galadhon. The heart of Elvendom on earth.” The scene was ultimately cut from the theatrical version.

This just might be the most spectacular (and risky) video of the ancient Roman ruins ever made.

🗺️TOUR TUESDAY: WALKING THROUGH 3,000 YEARS OF JERUSALEM (Part of our new scheduled daily content lineup—always pinned.) The City of David is not just an archaeological site. It is one of the clearest places where the Bible, ancient history, and the physical landscape of Jerusalem intersect. Expert tour guide and podcaster Eve Harow takes us back in time where she traces the city’s ancient water systems, walks through neighborhoods from the First Temple period, sees evidence of destruction from 586 BCE, and stands above the routes that once carried pilgrims toward the Temple. It is also a place where modern political narratives collide with the archaeological record—and where understanding the history changes how you see Jerusalem today. Watch the complete tour through the City of David Ancient Jerusalem Learn more about Eve Harow, link in comments.

Jerusalem is where history comes alive. And in the City of David, you can now walk in the footsteps of the ancient pilgrims on their way to Herod’s Temple.

Tragically, my sweet, courageous cousin Rose was murdered this morning by a 16 year old palestinian kid. She was murdered standing guard as a Defender of the Jewish People, and a defender of the guards of our ancient old city of Jerusalem. She was 20 years old. I took this video on Friday, and little did I know it would be my last time seeing her. We don’t share the Muslim world’s luxury of viewing history through the myopic lens of the past few centuries. 1000 years before Islam was founded, just like Rose, countless defenders of our holy city were slain as we watched the destruction of our first temple; and 500 years later, countless defenders of our holy city were again slain as we witnessed the destruction of our second temple. We’ve been yearning to return to our homeland since centuries before Hadrian coined the word “Palestine.” History will remember Rose for the infectiously sweet, deceptively dangerous, honorable Warrior of the Jewish People that she was, much like her ancient ancestors. May Rose’s memory be a blessing. רות אלישבע בת חיים דוד

On June 7, 1967, the Jewish people returned to the heart of their ancient capital. Jerusalem was reunited in a moment of historic joy and liberation. For 2,000 years, Jews kept Jerusalem alive in their prayers, dreams, and collective memory. Yet for 19 years (1948–1967), the city was divided, and Jews were barred from the Old City and the Western Wall, the holiest site where Jews can pray. Since that historic day in 1967, Jerusalem has remained open to all faiths, guaranteeing freedom of worship and access to holy sites for everyone. Jerusalem is the eternal, undivided capital of Israel. 🇮🇱✨
