The place that holds King David's tomb is in the basement level of a building that is now a mosque. The second level of the building is where Jesus held the Last Supper. This is one place where Christians, Jews and Muslims all come. King David's tomb was interesting because the men and the women cannot go into the room together. The men on one side the women on the other. There was a field trip of maybe 60 little girls from a Hebrew school in there when Kathleen and I went in. They stared at us like we had 3 heads! Finally, they started smiling at us and you could tell they wanted to practice their English but every time we tried to talk to them they would laugh and run away. They were very cute girls but their teacher would not let us take their picture. Too bad.
The room where Jesus held the last supper was empty and is used as a mosque. This is also the same room where Jesus was when the holy spirit descended upon him and we celebrate Pentecost. The room was small but our guide said it was probably much smaller in Jesus' time.
