Just outside of Jerusalem’s Old City lies Mount Zion, the site of King David’s Tomb and the Cenacle, where the Last Supper was said to have taken place. Holy to all three Abrahamic religions, the complex is currently at the center of just one of the controversies surrounding Pope Francis’ trip to the Middle East at the end of May. The pope is due to hold Mass in the Room of the Last Supper, something not normally allowed by the Israeli authorities – Catholic prayers are only held twice a year at the site, on Holy Thursday and the Pentecost. But more than that, there is talk that Israel – which occupied the site in 1948 – wants to relinquish control of it to the Vatican. [Link]
