The City of Jerusalem

When Jesus grew up he went to a city called Jerusalem.  
In Jesus' time many of the cities had walls around them to protect them.  You can see the doors in the walls where people could go in and out.  

The temple is located at the hightest point in the city.  This is where Mary and Joseph brought Jesus when he was a baby.  Do you remember Simeon and Anna in the temple?

The Cenacle is the place where Jesus and his disciples celebrated the Passover.  

After the Passover, Jesus and his disciples went to the Mount of Olives.  They sang on the way there.  Jesus prayed while they were there.  
Then Jesus was arrested.

Jesus was taken to Caiaphas' house.  Caiaphas asked Jesus if he was the Son of God.  Jesus said yes.  


Jesus was taken to Pialte.  Pilate asked Jesus if he was the King of the Jews.   Jesus said yes.  

Then Jesus was taken to Herod.  Herod didn't know what to do with Jesus.  

Jesus was taken to the Mountian called Golgatha and was crucified.  He was placed in a tomb.  

Three days later Jesus rose from the dead. 
His tomb is empty.  


Let's sing together and move the materials again.
