A Visit to the Holy Land

CHAPTER VII
28/33

Like the Greeks, the Armenian priests enjoy the reputation of thoroughly understanding how to make a harvest out of their visitors, whom they are said generally to send away with empty pockets.

As an amends, however, they offer them a great quantity of _spiritual_ food.
In the valley of Jehosaphat we find many tombs of ancient and modern date.

The most ancient among these tombs is that of Absolom; a little temple of pieces of rock, but without an entrance.

The second is the tomb of Zacharias, also hewn out of the rock, and divided within into two compartments.

The third belongs to King Jehosaphat, and is small and unimportant; one might almost call it a mere block of stone.
