32 MOVING PICTURE AGE January, 1922 what is known as the Triumphal Entry. . The gate to the north of it is called St. Stephens in honor of the first Christian martyr, who was stoned there. In the south wall is Herod's Gate. The Praetorium is also seen, where Pilate delivered Jesus to the people, and here begins the Via Dolorosa. Somewhere near its beginning Jesus took up the cross. Here he fell under its weight ; there he was assisted by Simon of Cyrene ; at another point he blessed the women who followed ; at another he passed through the walls of the old city, soon reaching the knoll of Golgotha, or Calvary. Here he was crucified, and was buried not far away in the new tomb of Joseph of Aramithea, and on the third day he arose arid appeared to loving friends who came to visit his resting place, i The entire spot here referred to is enclosed by the great basilica. the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, grand in its simplicity and venerable for its antiquity. More pilgrims have worshipped at this shrine than at any other in existence. Jerusalem, though unlike that of Abraham's or even Jesus' day, is, when compared with more modern cities of the West, very ancient, not only in its architectural construction but also in the customs, habits, and general activities of its people. What Jerusalem will be 100 years hence is, no doubt, a question, but a marked change from pre-war times can be observed in Palestine today. The political change has also brought many Europeans, and these have changed its financial as well as its educational and social status. It is a very common thing to see natives on the street in western costume ; Mohammedan women, their faces heavily veiled, wearing high-heeled shoes, and children with books and clothes not unlike young westerners going to school. Now and then a Bedoin in full trans-Jordanian costume may be seen on his way to Jerusalem in his own automobile — generally of American make, but not always a Ford. One good result of the war is that, at least between the most important places, they have fairly good roads. The country being controlled by the British, the roads are being kept up nicely, whereas they were formerly almost impassable trails. As Jerusalem is the tourist center of the country there is no small number of motor vehicles, and a .traffic policeman is actually to be found at the intersection of the streets at the Jaffa gate. From every view-point — in whatever direction you cast your eye — you find a scene associated with patriarch, prophet, disciple, or Jesus himself, and there is born in one a new thought, a new realization of truth, a new impulse. Having accomplished the purpose of our pilgrimage — that of filming the country — all the country — we turned our faces toward our own country, where the students of sacred history are waiting, and have waited for many years, for authentic pictorial information upon the land of the Bible.
