   Dominus Flevit [ The Lord  wept ]  : - On the slopes of the Mount of Olives and facing The Temple Mount is a small church built  in the  of a teardrop  in between 1953 and 1955.It marks the spot where Jesus stood shedding tears while watching  the Temple  for he foresaw the destruction of the Temple. The view from the window of this church on the Temple mount is amazing. Bethphage :- Which means house of unripe Figs  it is said it was in this area that Jesus cursed a Fig tree to wither that  Bore no fruit ( Mat: 21:18-22).  Bethphage is located on the eastern slopes of  Mount Of Olives ..Itis from here that Jesus makes his triumphant entry sitting on a colt  which was brought to  him by his Apostles on the request of Jesus [ Luke 19:33 }.It is said the stone on which Jesus put his foot to climb the colt still exists to this day within the Church of Bethphage. He enters with Palms on this road which is a steep slope also known as the Palm Sunday road.  Thus the prophecy of Zechariah
