Located on the east side of the city of Jerusalem, the Mount of Olives occupies the highest geographical position nearby. It is said that in the days of Jesus, the whole mountain was filled with olive trees. Standing on the hill, looking beyond the valley of the Jewish tombs, and then seeing Jerusalem. At first glance, it makes people sigh: this is a place where the sacred light shines. Three days before Jesus suffered, he told his disciples on the Mount of Olives that he predicted that the second temple built by Herod II would be destroyed someday. On the last day of his crucifixion, it was from the Mount of Olives that he entered the city of Jerusalem. Finally, after the resurrection of Jesus, it disappeared on the Mount of Olives. In Judaism, there is a saying of the Last Judgment that the Messiah will come to the Mount of Olives one day and the final judgment will be opened. The Jews believed that they were God's chosen people, and they were buried here to give priority to heaven. Therefore, since the ages, the slopes of the Mount of Olives have become the most sacred cemetery of Jews worldwide. Tens of thousands of graves are piled up in the Mount of Olives and the Valen Valley, spectacular and sultry.
