Above: The Mosque of Ascension, Mount of Olives, Jerusalem, from which (according to tradition) Jesus ascended to heaven. Since Jesus is considered a prophet of Islam, this is a holy site for the Moslem faith. (Left, outside view; Right, inside view with Rock of Ascension.)

 
Left: St. Matthias Church, Trier, Germany: traditional burial place of Matthias (the 13th apostle). Right: Traditional site of Akeldema ("Field of Blood") on the Mt. Of Olives, where Judas committed suicide.
