Ascension

‎Jerusalem. The Chapel of the Ascension on the Mount of Olives, built over the rock from which, according to tradition, Jesus rose to heaven. A Byzantine chapel was built over the rock in the 4th century and, like many others, it was destroyed in the 7th century.

Peeping behind the Chapel is the tip of the bell-tower of the Russian Church of the Ascension, built in the 19th century
