An absolutely extraordinary experience is to be had at the site of Christ's resurrection. These churches are all sacred for different reasons. The Mount of Olives is where Christians believe Jesus ascended into heaven. The cemetery here, which is the oldest burial ground in the world still in use, is said to be where the first resurrections will take place.
