christians in Jerusalem

“Believe it or not, I think Jerusalem has more priests than NY. Another amazing thing; when I was in the observation tower looking down on the New City, I saw dozens of huge crosses on tops of buildings but not even one Star of David.”
“I got into a crowd of Christian Pilgrims …….. I was surprised how loyal they are to Israel. They could shame many Jews.”
“The American tourists were as surprised as I that the missionaries actually get Israel gov't support.”

Many of today's "holy sites" were not accessible to Jews in 1957

Some of the Christians are very loyal to the State of Israel even more than the Jews but my father was very concerned that some of the Christians visiting Israel were acting as Missionaries trying to convert Jews to Christianity. He also couldn’t believe that the missionaries were receiving Israeli government support.
In December 2019 the City of Jerusalem was handing out free Christmas Trees at Jaffa Gate the entrance to Jerusalem. Many Jews were being stopped and preached about Christianity.
