This chapel belongs to the Greeks.
From the foot of the Mount of Olives to its summit is a walk of three quarters of an hour.

The whole mountain is desert and sterile; nothing is found growing upon it but olives; and from the summit of this mountain our Saviour ascended into heaven.

The spot was once marked by a church, which was afterwards replaced by a mosque: even this building is now in ruins.

Only twelve years ago a little chapel, of very humble appearance, was erected here; it now stands in the midst of old walls; but here again a footprint of our Lord is shown and reverenced.

On this stone it is asserted that He stood before He was taken up into heaven.
