Your Prayers Placed in the Wailing Wall

Reverend Peola Hicks shares her life-changing experience of visiting one of the holiest sites in Jerusalem.

This is where I was on November 9, 2011, putting prayers in the Wailing Wall and praying on behalf of the visitors of OurPrayer.  The Wailing Wall, or the Western Wall, is one of the holiest sites in Jerusalem. The remains date back to the time of Herod the Great, when he was rebuilding the temple, around 19 BC.

When I got there I asked our guide if we were going to the Wailing Wall, but she told me that they now call it the Western Wall because they earned the right to pray there and they no longer have to wail.
