Out through the Jatta ggte, near which the crucifixion s lieved to have taken place, winds the long cavaleade, past a well by an olive grove where, according to tradition, the three magi #topped to drink and saw in the water the reflection of the star that had blossomed for their gzuidance and heralded the bir of Christendom.

A field to the left, according to tradition, is the very field i which Ruth garnered wheat for old Boaz; then comes the tomb of Rachel, followed by a hill en which, say the natives. stood the building in which Judas Iscariot betrayed his Tord for 30 pieces of silver.
