Herodium palace of Herod
In 2007 his tomb was found here
they'd been looking for it for a while
here's the model of his tomb
The swimming pool is large
down by the foot of the mountain
we go through the tunnels
dry and dusty, up and up
arriving inside the palace
The palace was quite large and beautiful
group picture
go up to view the surrounding area
villages surround Herodium
this one is about the size of Bethlehem 2000
years ago, now it's a big city
earlier we visited a cave to have a bit of an idea
what the birthplace of Jesus may have looked like
sitting in the door, what a shepherd would have done
we often "cleean up" Christmas
but the biblical picture is that Jesus
entered chaos to bring shalom
and He did it close to the beautiful palace Herodium
back at Herodium
time to take some "family pictures"
and they took ours
This is day 12
