Eight major gates give entry into the holy and ancient city of Jerusalem. The largest is the Eastern Gate, sometimes called the "Beautiful Gate" or the "Golden Gate." It is unique among the historic gates because it is the only one that is completely sealed up, preventing entry.

The hidden glory
The Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus is the defining event in our history. In that moment, humanity shared in Christ’s victory over death. The empty tomb on the first Easter allows us to faithfully proclaim that we believe in the “resurrection of the body and life everlasting” each Sunday, a certain truth that fills us with hope as we prepare for sanctification in this life for the next. It is this event that allows us to proclaim confidently with St. Paul, “O death, where is your sting!” (1 Cor 15:55).
