Jericho

Executive summary by Darmansjah Godjali

Parts of the streets of my spiritual tours to the 'promised land' of Jerusalem, one of which is to the city of Jericho. Jericho is the 'oldest city in the world' the walls collapsed by Joshua praises. Being in this city we felt like in a city that lost the war, silent and visible debris everywhere.



In this city
there are trees in the literature that we know the Bible, the fig tree, where Zacheus, the tax collector is short bodied could climb the tree to see Jesus. The fig tree is located on the fork in the road, the height of about 10-15 meters in diameter of trees large enough.





Jericho town located about an hour from the Dead Sea (the Dead Sea), with a height of 300 meters below sea level. Jericho town is also famous as the 'city of the lowest in the world. "



I had lunch at a restaurant owned by a person with Indonesian citizenship Arab fairly fluent (I believe because so often the spiritual tourists from Indonesia that always-for-lunch place in this place).



 I
got a free pin from the restaurant owner as a memento. Four square-shaped pin with a circular upper side with writing Jericho. And writing BLESS PEACE FROM THE CITY Oldest underneath, which can only be read with a magnifying tool.
