“It happens then,” as abbot Daniel said, “the joy of every Christian who sees the holy city - Jerusalem is great; no one can shed a tear when they see the desired land and the holy place where Christ our God walks, for our salvation, and they walk with great joy to the Holy City of Jerusalem.” And this, in the words of the chronicler, is true “even to this day.” Earthly and Heavenly Jerusalem. What is this?.. The city of David, Herod the Great, Suleiman the Magnificent? The eternity of existence and the flight of the soul to eternal life? These two cities, earthly and heavenly, are tightly connected with each other by the secret of Divine Providence.
