“The Seekers silence is the loudest
form of prayer” Swami Vivekananda
These
trees are from Jerusalem from the garden of Gethsemane – a place where Lord Jesus
spent time in prayer, just before his trial, after which he was sentenced to
death on the cross. I was privileged to visit this beautiful garden, and also
had the opportunity to walk the way of the Cross that led to the place where he
was crucified and hung on a wooden cross.
It
was an experience by itself and watching these trees in the Gethsemane garden
that witnessed a great Soul ….. the trees are very old, some of them are
preserved and garden has a boundary we can’t get it, adjacent to that they have
built a church. I walked in silence…

ReplyDeleteYes Parul, its an experience of a life time- I have no words to describe my experience. Reading the scriptures and trying to understand is different from actually going to the place is great opportunity. I am blessed to have visited this place. I am eager to read your post and thanks for facilitating TTL.
