A Place Called The Wailing Wall In Jerusalem


Another name for this wall is Western Wall. It’s the last vestige of the Holy Temple built by King Solomon; built as part of the expansion of the second Jewish Temple about 20 B.C.
                                 

Prayers are conducted here 24 hours, come rain or sunshine. It has two sessions, one for men, the other session for women. This writing is focusing on the men’s session for today. Women’s session will be shown in another write up.


                                      

Everybody is required to dress decently before going to the Wall. Men wear the Jewish round cap on their heads in addition to their dressing too.

                                       


Individual’s prayer petitions, which are expected to have been written before approaching the Wall, are stuck in cracks of the Wall. 

What do you think about this Wall?

Visit To Apapa Sea Lagos Nigeria

Apapa Sea in Lagos is a very big sea with different segments. It is a commercial sea where the Nigeria port is located. A visit there spells out why Lagos, the commercial nerve center of Nigeria is always busy. A waiting boat was ready to take us across the other side.                                        We got to the seashore and it was a lovely site. The sea breeze reminded me of the artistic nature of God. It was such a lovely temperature.                                        My colleagues couldn't wait to savor the vicinity. A little pose here and there. A lot of containers on the sea. Amazing!                                        A Sea School, on the shore, a bit above the sea level, known as Apapa Sea School was at hand. Of course they provided me and my crew life jackets to float on the sea since we couldn’t swim in the big sea.                                         At first the thought of jumping into the Sea was scary. As I made it
