What is the Wailing Wall of Jerusalem ?

The "Wailing Wall of Jerusalem", also known as the Western Wall, is also available"Wall of Sighs"It is a section of the Second Temple Parapet of the ancient Jewish State in the Old City of Jerusalem, and the only remaining remains of the Second Temple Parapet, about 50 meters long and 18 meters high, made of large stones. It is the holiest site in Judaism, and the faithful must weep at the wall to express their mourning for the ancient temple and look forward to its restoration. For 2,000 years, when the Jews from all corners of the world returned to the holy city of Jerusalem, they would come to this stone wall and whisper prayers and weep about the suffering of exile, hence the name"The Wailing Wall"。

The Wailing Wall is the result of the two times that the Jewish Temple was built and the Jews who gathered in front of the Wailing Wall were destroyed twice, and it is the spiritual home of the Jewish people who have been displaced for 2,000 years. Prayer was part of Jewish life under the Wailing Wall, and the crowd of prayers ranged from Bible-carrying gun-carrying female soldiers to devoted and religious old Jews with beards more than a foot long.

Men and women are required to wear a traditional hat before entering the square wall during prayer, and if there is no hat, a paper hat is also available at the entrance**. Because the Jews believed that God was above the Wailing Wall, everyone who came here, whether they were Jews or not, wore small hats, because they thought it disrespectful to have their heads turned directly at God. Women do not have to cover their heads at the Wailing Wall, but after praying, they step by step out of the prayer area, still facing the Wailing Wall as a sign of respect.

After the Romans occupied Jerusalem, the suffering Jews were forced into exile around the world, unable to return to their homeland. It was not until the Byzantine period that Jews were allowed to return to the "Wailing Wall" once a year to pray. At this time, a large number of noisy Jews gathered in front of the "Wailing Wall" to weep loudly, and the name "Wailing Wall" came from this, and it became a holy place in the hearts of the Jews.

During World War II, when millions of Jews died tragically under the butcher's knives of the German Nazis, the "Wailing Wall" became a spiritual home for Jews to remember their relatives and vent their grief.

It is because this earth is originally a battlefield, and later after the end of the war, a lot of people died, and the big orange staring and the family heard the sound of crying at night in Zechen, and they will have this title.

Because this Wailing Wall is a place where many people come to cry when they are in a bad mood, and the special meaning is that it can express people's emotions.

Jerusalem's famous "Wailing Wall" "wept": a huge stone stain appeared on a boulder in the middle of this huge stone wall, which remained so after several days of wind and sun, neither expanding nor disappearing. This phenomenon has thrilled many ultra-Orthodox Jews, because in Jewish legend, weeping over the Wailing Wall is a harbinger of the coming of the Messiah, the Messiah of the Jewish Messiah.

If the water stain is described as "tears of the Wailing Wall", then the Wailing Wall actually shed three lines of tears, not the one previously reported. In front of the Wailing Wall, we see that the previously reported line of "tears" is located in the middle of the Wailing Wall to the left, about six or seven meters above the ground. The water stain is rectangular, although it is wet, but there is no water dripping down, and the water stain is dry all around, and there is no trace of water at all.

Since the water stain is located right on the front of a boulder, it may seem as if water is seeping out of the inside of the stone from the ground, which may be the reason why some people find it weird. The other two water stains were located in the cracks of the stone walls. Water seeped out of the cracks, wetting the stones below, and some of the wall fillers were corroded away, so they looked more like the two "tearful eyes" of the sullen acacia silver.

In fact, the appearance of water stains on the wailing wall is not recent, but a natural phenomenon that occurs frequently. This phenomenon occurred a year and a half ago, when it was found that the cause was a leak in the water pipe used for drip irrigation on the other side of the Wailing Wall, and the speed of the leakage and the rate of evaporation were exactly the same, so that the water stain could neither disappear nor expand for a long time.

In the past few days, the Israel Antiquities Agency, together with relevant geological and cultural relics experts, has also investigated and analyzed the phenomenon of water stains on the Wailing Wall, and finally the opinions of the experts have confirmed that the "Tears of the Wailing Wall" is not actually mysterious. In its findings, the Israel Antiquities Agency said that the phenomenon, although not caused by water seepage, as it had been a year and a half ago, was a natural phenomenon caused by the decay of a plant that grew among the stones.

Although the Wailing Wall Tears have proven to be a purely natural phenomenon, there is still hope that one day, peace will come to this land. At that time, people will no longer kill each other, and the Wailing Wall will return to its original name, the Western Wall, and then the Wailing Wall will no longer shed tears!
