True Father visited Jerusalem on August 31, 1965, as part of his first World Tour.
Two days previously, on August 29, he visited Mount Nebo where Moses stood and looked over the Promised Land.
The next day, he and his party crossed the Jordan River and visited the area where Jesus was reported to have been baptized and the Mount of Temptation.
He went into the city through the gate Jesus entered on a donkey, went to the Temple Mount, visited Pilate’s court and proceeded to Calvary under the altar of a Greek Orthodox Church.
He went to Gethsemane at sunset, where he blessed a Holy Ground.
Dr. Young Oon Kim, who traveled with True Father, wrote, “Our Leader and all of us burst into tears as he prayed on Calvary and Gethsemane.”
