The Golden Gate is the oldest of the gates in Jerusalem's Old City walls. It has great religious significance: it is said that Jesus passed through this gate on Palm Sunday, and in Jewish tradition it is through this gate that the Messiah will enter Jerusalem. The gate is thought to have been sealed from as early as 11th century during Arab occupation of the city, to prevent the entry of the Messiah. |

Anderson, R.E. p.438-471, in "The Recovery of Jerusalem" by Capt. Wilson, R.E. Capt. Warren, R.E. &c. (London: Richard Bentley, 1871) The Ordnance Survey of Jerusalem having been successfully accomplished by Captain Wilson, R.E., and a party of the Royal Engineers in the season of 1864-65, the Palestine Exploration Fund determined upon sending out an expedition to make such a general survey of the country as would enable the Society to fix on particular spots for further investigation. Captain Wilson was appointed to take charge of the party, and he was accompanied by myself and a photographer, Corporal Phillips, of the Royal Engineers. The party left England on the 8th of November, 1865, and arrived at Beyrout on the 22nd of the same month; there, with the assistance of Mr. Eldridge, the Consul-Greneral, the requisite number of muleteers and mules were engaged, as well as a dragoman or interpreter, who provided tents and complete camp equipment. |
