Bethany is 2 miles east of Jerusalem, but it takes 20 minutes to drive there because the separation wall divides it from Jerusalem along the Jericho Road.

Pater Noster Church on Mount of Olives is a traditional site where Jesus instructed his apostles during His last week. It is also associated with the Lord's Prayer, partly because Hebrew, Greek, and Latin inscriptions of the Lord's Prayer were found in the ruins of a 4th century church at this site. The current church was built in the 19th century and displays the Lord's Prayer in more than 60 languages.
