A pilgrim from the Philippines placed in the City Center a model of one of the most important symbols representing ancient Jewish life. According to her, the model will stay in the country in one of the churches in the Old City.
Jerusalem passer-by’s found an unusual site yesterday, a model of the Ark of the Covenant that was brought to Israel by a pilgrim from the Philippines. The model is decorated with angels and coated in the color gold, reminiscent of the Ark of the Covenant that existed in the Jewish Temple in Jerusalem during the First Temple period.
Police officers that were deployed at that
time near the Old City asked to clarify the meaning of the pilgrims’
special item. In response, she pointed out to them that she brought the
model as part of a pilgrimage journey to the Holy Land and that she
intends to leave it in one of the churches in the Old City.
Along with visitors that came from across the country, during the holiday, thousands of pilgrims came to Jerusalem to visit and pray there. Following the relative calm felt in the country since the conclusion of Operation Protective Edge, the number of visitors in the Israeli capital city grew greatly.
