Beneath the Holy City: The Hidden Waters of Jerusalem

Dive into the heart of Jerusalem, a city revered by David, Muhammad, and Jesus, where the sacred meets the historical in the tale of its life-giving water. Our journey begins at the Pool of Siloam, leading us through the dark, narrow paths of an 8th-century BC tunnel carved during King Hezekiah's reign, a marvel designed to protect the city's precious water source from invaders. This 600-yard-long passage, winding its way to the Gihon Spring, tells the story of a city that has always treasured and fought for its water. Alongside the ancient, we explore the remnants of Roman power in the magnificent cistern that provided for Caesar's legions, now lying beneath Christianity's holiest site, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. The First Parish Priest of the Greek Orthodox community bridges the past and present, reminding us of the continuous thread of faith and survival in Jerusalem. Join us in uncovering the depths of Jerusalem's history, where water flows as a symbol of endurance and life in the city of Heaven and Earth.
