Russian Orthodox Church of the Ascension

Russian Orthodox Church of the Ascension.This is where some people believe that Christ ascended into heaven.

Me and my beautiful roommate Jenessa. She is wonderful in every sense of the word. 


They had two chapels on the grounds. One of them was dedicated to John the Baptist. 

This is where they believe John the Baptist's head was found. 

So call me a girly girl, but they had the prettiest flowers.  There are not a lot of flowers everywhere, so when you see them it is a beautiful sight!


YES! This is exactly what you think it is... a PEACOCK!! This little guy was just roaming around on the grounds.  Who would have thought there would be wild peacocks running around in Jerusalem?
