The shrine where Christians believe Jesus ascended to heaven may not meet their expectations. What remains is a small, plain structure on land now part of a mosque, located east of the main road atop the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem. The site, near the Church of Pater Noster, was once home to several churches commemorating the Ascension, but the last was converted into a mosque after the Muslim conquest in 1187. Despite its simplicity, the shrine is noteworthy for containing what’s believed to be the impression of Jesus’ right foot before his ascent.
