This golden rooster perches atop a church just outside the walls of Jerusalem. The building, called The Church of St. Peter in Gallicantu (cock's crow), commemorates the biblical Peter's triple denial of Jesus, his repentance, and his reconciliation with Christ after the Resurrection. This place is also believed to be the location of the palace of the High Priest Caiaphas. It was another site we visited while on our Israel Tour that helped to make the Bible stories come alive.
