Ancient stairs from Mount Zion down to the lower city of Jerusalem in Biblical times
Israel, Jerusalem, St. Peter Gallicantu, This ancient stairway by the Church of Saint Peter in Gallicantu leads from the upper city down to the lower city and the Valley of Kidron. It is thought that Jesus would have taken these stairs in his walk from the room of the Last Supper to Gethsemane, and would have been brought back up these stairs to his trial by the Sanhedrin after his arrest that same night

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the ancient stairs from Mount Zion descending to the lower city of Jerusalem, evoking a profound sense of history and spirituality. Located near the Church of Saint Peter in Gallicantu, these weathered stone steps are believed to have been traversed by Jesus himself during his final hours. As one gazes upon this archeological marvel, it is impossible not to imagine Jesus walking down these very stairs after partaking in the Last Supper with his disciples. It was on this path that he made his way towards Gethsemane, where he would face immense anguish and pray for strength before his crucifixion. The significance of these stairs extends beyond their biblical association. They stand as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and architectural prowess of ancient civilizations in this holy land. The worn-out stones bear witness to countless footsteps throughout centuries past, leaving an indelible mark on both physical and spiritual landscapes. Visitors who ascend or descend these steps today can't help but feel a deep connection with history unfolding beneath their feet. This site has become a cherished tourist attraction and destination for those seeking to immerse themselves in the sacred atmosphere that permeates Jerusalem's streets. Jon Fuller's expert photography showcases not only the beauty of this ancient stairway but also its symbolic importance within religious narratives. Through vibrant colors and impeccable composition, Fuller transports viewers back in time while reminding us of our shared human journey across generations and cultures.
