Day - 19 - The Shrine

Today we had an amazing opportunity to have the curator of the Shrine of the Book guide us on a tour of both Qumran, and the Shrine.


Qumran was home to the Jewish sect know as the Essenes. 






This is the place where we find some of the oldest and best persevered writings of scripture.






We got to see a couple of the original documents found at Qumran at the Shrine of the Book.
