This photo is from the house of Caiaphas, or his palace. He was the high priest at the time of Jesus' arrest and crucification. It was here that Christ was taken immediately after the soldiers took him from the Garden of Gethsemane. This was the chamber in which Christ was held his final night before his death. We stood as a group and read Psalms 88 together and then sang "How Great Thou Art".....it was very moving.
The place is also known as St. Peter in Gallicantu Church. Gallicantu means "cockcrow" and the church is consecrated to commemorate Peter's triple denail of Jesus and his remorse after he heard the cock crow.
