Looking down into the plaza in front of the Wailing Wall. We see the security checkpoint at the entrance. In the distance, we see the mosque atop the Temple Mount, just beyond the wall.

This minaret adorns a mosque just behind the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the call to prayer sounded as we stood in the courtyard of the church.

The artwork and designs inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre are the mark of each Christian Sect that lays claim to a part of the church.
